Description

The new instrument SAPHiR is dedicated to time-of-flight neutron diffraction and radiography of powder samples, fluids, and melts at pressures up to 15 GPa and temperatures between 86–2300 K. Future applications include in-situ crystallography and phase relations of light-element-bearing phases, equations of state, reaction kinetics, and radiography for the Earth and materials sciences. Currently, SAPHiR is used offline for conducting deformation experiments to investigate planetary formation.
