The Center For High Resolution Neutron Scattering (CHRNS)
![CHRNS Logo](chrns.jpg)
The Center for High Resolution Neutron Scattering (CHRNS) is a national user
facility that is jointly funded by the
National Science Foundation under Agreement Number DMR-0454672, and by the
NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR).
CHRNS develops and operates state-of-the-art neutron scattering
instrumentation with broad applications in materials research for
use by the general scientific community. Combined, CHRNS instruments
can provide structural information on a length
scale of 1 nm to ~10 microns, and
dynamical information on energy scales
from ~30 neV to ~100 meV. These are the widest ranges accessible at
any neutron research center in North America. The instruments are
used by university, government and industrial researchers in materials
science, chemistry, biology and condensed matter physics to investigate
materials such as polymers, metals, ceramics, magnetic materials,
porous media, fluids and gels, and biological molecules.
Proposals for use of the CHRNS
facilities are considered solely on the basis of scientific merit
or technological importance.
