Neutron Methods

This department is in its founding phase. It is located at the largest outstation of JCNS at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching, close to Munich. JCNS-4 will open up an additional focus of research with neutrons and further strengthen cooperation between the MLZ partners due to its director holding a joint appointment at the physics department of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), in keeping with the "Jülich model". JCNS-4 organizes the instrument- and user-operation and coordinates method development at the MLZ outstation of JCNS.

Neutron Research: Efficient Use of Measurement Time Through Machine Learning

Jülich scientists have developed a new approach to improve the efficiency of neutron scattering experiments at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum, and have successfully tested the method at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. The scientists were able to optimise the data collection using an active learning approach from the field of artificial intelligence. In this way, the time needed for each experiment can be reduced and the scarce resource of measurement time can be used more effectively.

Obituary: Dr. Marie-Sousai Appavou

On 13 September, our much-loved and highly respected long-standing colleague, Dr. Marie-Sousai Appavou, passed away suddenly at the age of 46. Marie-Sousai was first employed at Forschungszentrum Jülich in 2007. After finishing his studies at Cergy Paris University and completing his PhD at the Laboratoire Léon Brillouin in France, Marie-Sousai moved to Germany in 2006 to take up a postdoc position at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Here he worked on the construction of a high-pressure cell for neutron scattering and conducted research on protein dynamics as a function of temperature and pressure.
