We are pleased to announce a Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering (QENS) BAG at ISIS. We are keen to encourage users with no experience of QENS and will provide support throughout the process. QENS is a powerful tool in catalysis research, although currently underused. To reduce the barrier to entry, proposals will be assessed by an internal Hub panel with a lighter touch than that required for a direct proposal to ISIS.
The criteria used to assess these applications will be:
- Previous experience with the technique (with priority given to new users)
- Scientific merit
- Feasibility
- Maximising efficiency
Time will be regularly allocated on the IRIS QENS spectrometer for Catalysis Hub affiliates. Widening the user base on B18 has been one of the great successes of the Diamond BAG. We hope to do the same with QENS at ISIS.
Webinar
We will be hosting a webinar on 22 October at 15:00 BST with Dr. Ian Silverwood, UKRI STFC ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, which will provide information on the benefits, process and how to apply for the BAG.
