New possibilities for condensed matter science at the Neutron Spallation Source in Oak Ridge
Georg Ehlers, Oak Ridge


The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is a new accelerator-based neutron source that provides the most intense pulsed neutron beams in the world for scientific research and industrial development. Some beam lines have already been operating for a few years, whereas others are still being built. I will give an overview of the current experimental capabilities with emphasis on my own research on geometrically frustrated magnets and multiferroic systems.
