Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is based on the temporal analysis of the intensity fluctuations of the scattered light caused by the Brownian motion of particles (protein molecules, aggregates, polymer particles etc.) in solution. It provides information on the translational diffusion coefficient, allowing the characterization of particles with average radii in a broad range from a few...
In 2017 the Neutron Spin Echo (NSE) Spectrometer went through a refurbishment of the secondary spectrometer. A set of superconducting precession coils was realized following the results obtained for the design of ESSENSE, the proposed high-resolution NSE spectrometer at the ESS. One of the most innovative characteristics of the coils is their optimized geometry that maximises the intrinsic...
