Neutron Science in All its Diversity.
LANSCE provides the scientific community with intense sources of neutrons with the capability of performing experiments supporting civilian and national security research. The Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, Office of Science and Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology – the principal sponsors of LANSCE – have synergistic long-term needs for the accelerator and neutron science that is the heart of LANSCE.
LANSCE provides solutions to national security problems. It serves an international user community conducting diverse forefront basic and applied research.

For Lujan Users
The User Program at the Lujan Center will resume 9th January, 2013 and continue to 2nd March, 2013 on the following instruments; NPDF, SMARTS, SPEAR, LQD, Asterix, and PCS. We expect to resume a full User Program (including HIPPO, FDS and HIPD) in the summer of 2013. All experiments that were recently postponed will be rescheduled in 2013. Priority for January through March operation will be determined by the experimental review committee (MPAC) score and by constraints of our interim resumption plan.
For the January through March run cycle the Lujan Center will operate using conservative procedures that control for the vulnerabilities that came to light as a result of the recent contamination event. Our goal is to provide the best service that we can during an interim period of operations interim rules as we continue to refine the ergonomics to ensure safe and secure operations. We ask you for your continued support in this critical interim phase of operation.
We would like to thank the DOE, NNSA, LANL, NSSA and all the users who helped us during the closure and for the contributions that they have made that lead to the resumption of our user activities.
We are very much looking forward to hosting Users in 2013. We wish you a happy and safe holiday season.
Many Thanks,
The Lujan Center |

Design and Manipulation of Macroscopic Quantum States in Materials
Researchers from DOE's Institute for Quantum Matter at Johns Hopkins University collaborated with Anna Llobet (Lujan Neutron Scattering Center, LANSCE-LC) to discover a new driving force for the emergence of highly entangled quantum states of matter: a mixed-valence-driven heavy fermion state in KNi2Se2.

Taking Action in Working Safely
 Holladay's task in ER-1 was complete. He could have headed straight back to his workstation, but Holladay's sound work practices are deeply ingrained.
On August 24, he stepped into the Blue Room's radiation portal monitor, adjacent to ER-1, and the beeps rang out...
