Description
SANS-1 is a joint project of the TU München and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon exploiting a classical pin-hole layout. Beside of being a general-purpose instrument it features distinguished characteristics for probing strongly correlated electron systems and materials science research. SANS‑1 offers access to a large dynamic range with tuneable resolution including full polarization analysis. A chopper based TISANE setup allows for μs time resolution for kinetic experiments. For in-situ and in-operando experiments under extreme conditions, SANS-1 features a flexible, spacious sample area with a heavy-duty goniometer hosting almost any complex sample environment like a set of superconducting magnets, furnaces and a bespoke quenching dilatometer. With the SANS-1MAX proposal, we plan to further extend the dynamical Q-range, and to increase the maximal momentum transfer to achieve a unique overlap to the diffraction/wide-angle neutron scattering regime. The upgrade will enable access to new research fields, particularly for modern materials science applications on energy materials.
