The Jülich Centre for Neutron Science JCNS offers access to dedicated neutron scattering instruments for users. Users can apply twice a year for beam time at instruments at MLZ, ILL and SNS. User Information

In its biggest outstation JCNS operates currently 10 scattering instruments partly in cooperation with the Technical University Munich and the RWTH Aachen University. Two more instruments are under construction and will start operation in 2014.  More

At the worlds highest flux research reactor at ILL in Grenoble, JCNS operates the Collaborative Research Group instruments, IN12, IN22 and D23, in a consortium with the French CEA. This gives German user groups access to world-class instruments for structural and dynamical studies. www.ill.eu

At the first Megawatt Spallation Neutron Source SNS in Oak Ridge, USA, JCNS operates a next generation spin echo spectrometer with unprecedented resolution and dynamical range. Through this contribution to the instrumentation, German users have access to the instrument suite of this unique source. www.sns.gov

At JCNS, "Technical Services and Administration" support our scientists in designing and constructing instruments. Technicians, engineers and our administration staff provide fast and unbureaucratic support. IT specialists advise our researchers and develop drivers and software. Keywords: CAD, server architecture, software and hardware development, safety, workshops.
