31. Activities of the Data-Driven Discovery Group on Data Reduction for MLZ Instruments

Oleksandr Koshchii

20/06/2023, 09:45

Short talk

Data reduction is a transformation of a dataset collected during a scattering experiment into a dataset in physical units. It requires detailed knowledge of geometry and configuration of the instrument at which the dataset was collected. As a result, data reduction is an essential stage required for linking raw experimental data to a meaningful scientific publication. As such, development of...

30. Additive manufacturing of custom neutron shielding solutions

Tobias Neuwirth

20/06/2023, 09:30

Together with ColorFabb we developed a 3D printable shielding material based on PLA and hexagonal boron nitride, allowing to easily manufacture complex shielding geometries, even with hobby-grade 3D printers. While using the material we have seen considerable interest internally, as well as from external collaboraters, and gained experience in designing and printing custom shielding solutions....

22. Data management as MLZ - future perspectives

Wiebke Lohstroh

20/06/2023, 09:30

This contribution will give a short overview on the plans for data management at MLZ - i.e. the workflow from proposal, epxeriment, storage, visualisation to analysis and publication. This contribution is thought as brief introduction to the further discussion on requirements from the instrument scientists perspective.

21. Development of a Nested Mirror Optic Array for the Thermal TAS PUMA at MLZ

Dr Adrian Merritt (Karlsruher Institut für Technologie)

20/06/2023, 10:00

Short talk

A persistent challenge for the inelastic neutron scattering technique has been the low scattering cross-section of neutrons, necessitating large sample sizes compared to elastic neutron scattering or inelastic x-ray scattering. Focusing the neutron beam is a viable technique to increase the flux reaching the sample, but previous techniques suffer from limitations to beam size, beam quality or...

51. Development of in-situ techniques for neutron scattering instruments or: How to mitigate the negative effects of (future) reactor shutdown periods at MLZ.

Tobias Schrader

20/06/2023, 10:00

Short talk

Let us face it: The research reactor FRM II will experience future shutdown periods of 6 months or longer also in the near and far future be it due to regulatory issues with the local government or be it due to technical problems encountered. In this contribution I would like to show how to mitigate the negative effects of these shutdown periods and to turn them into something productive and...

13. HYMN – A novel unified toolbox for in-situ magnetic hyperthermia experiments using neutron scattering

Michal Dembski-Villalta

20/06/2023, 10:15

Poster

One of the most promising use cases of magnetic hyperthermia, is the use of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for cancer therapy. In this treatment, MNPs are immersed into tumours and by heating with external magnetic fields, typically 100-900 kHz, destroy cancer cells. Since it is a clinical application the optimization of field parameters and in turn, the heating power, is crucial to maintain...

2. Monte-Carlo simulations of the new radiation shielding at the thermal beamport SR8 @ FRM II with SERPENT 2

Christoph Hauf

20/06/2023, 09:45

Short talk

The thermal beamport SR8 at the research neutron source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz in Garching will be optimized to allow the simultaneous operation of three independent monochromatic powder diffractometers. SPODI will continue to be one of the world-leading high-resolution powder diffractometers. FIREPOD will be a dedicated high throughput instrument, well suited for a broad range of fast...
