Swedish universities, institutes and companies collaborate on planning new instruments for installation at ESS, the world’s most powerful research facility for neutron radiation, outside Lund. The Swedish Research Council has now granted funding for two interdisciplinary projects as feasibility studies for future instruments at ESS: SAGA and HIBEAM, writes Uppsala University in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dedicated Grazing-Incidence Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (GISANS) instrument will enable researchers to analyse in detail how a neutron beam spreads when reflected from a surface. The SAGA instrument (Surface Analysis using Grazing Angle neutron scattering) will provide unique knowledge of surface layers for potential use in developing new medicines, packaging, batteries and other applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSAGA will give us a faster and more detailed understanding of the appearance and functioning of cell walls, for example. This will help us develop better medicines, food and packaging, as well as batteries and electronics for a sustainable society,\u201d says Tommy Nylander, Professor of Physical Chemistry at Lund University and active at LINXS \u2013 Lund Institute of Advanced Neutron and X-ray Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthens Swedish participation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Funding for the planning phase of Swedish instruments at ESS strengthens Swedish participation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research related to SAGA concerns the interface between physics, chemistry and biology, while HIBEAM creates an environment for collaboration between specialists in particle and nuclear physics. The two projects are based on internationally prominent research and are being carried out in collaboration with international and industry partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSwedish research already holds a leading position in surface physics and chemistry and the SAGA project is expected to further strengthen technological developments in the field. Applications exist for all major manufacturing industries and it is therefore very positive that we are now able to take the next step,\u201d says Max Wolff, Professor of Neutron Scattering, Uppsala University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiators of the SAGA project are Lund University, Uppsala University, Malm\u00f6 University, Link\u00f6ping University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. This first phase of planning for an instrument proposal to be submitted to ESS will take approximately three years to prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
