CHRNS MACS - The Multi Axis Crystal Spectrometer
NIST Center for Neutron Research

IMPORTANT: MACS is being relocated from neutron guide NG-0 to beam tube BT9, where it will have its own dedicated cold source. The recommissioning will be complete on February 2013, and MACS will be unavailable to users until then.

NOTE: This calendar is provided for assistance in scheduling experiments and sample environment. While every effort will be made to keep this schedule updated with the latest information, please visit the MACS SCHEDULE for official dates. DO NOT USE THIS INFORMATION FOR TRAVEL PLANS.

The Multi Axis Crystal Spectrometer at the NIST Center for Neutron Research is a third generation cold neutron spectrometer that provides ultra high sensitivity access to dynamic correlations in condensed matter on length scales from 0.1 nm to 50 nm and energy scales from 2.2 meV to 20 meV. The project is funded jointly by the NIST Center for Neutron Research, the National Science Foundation, and the Johns Hopkins University.
