High-precision determination of Si-neutron coherent scattering length
We propose to continue our last experimental run (3-15-61), to interferometrically determine neutron coherent scattering length b_c for silicon to within a few parts per... -
Self-assembly of gold nanoparticles at liquid interfaces to test Grazing-Inci...
We will study the detailed mechanism responsible for the self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) at the air/liquid interface by specular neutron reflectometry and grazing... -
Neutron Reflectometry study of Buried Liquid-Liquid interfaces: bridging diff...
The aim of this proposal is to couple two different approaches for investigating buried liquid-liquid (LL) interfaces by the means of neutron reflectometry. These two approaches... -
Towards efficient time-of-flight imaging at continuous sources
Time-of-flight imaging is considered a remit of pulsed sources, due to their obvious efficiency for ToF methods. However, time-of-flight is also an efficient method at... -
Fundamentals of contrast matching in porous media with pressurised gases
We propose to perform systematic SANS and USANS measurements of contrast matching of porous media with pressurised gases to establish standard procedures for this technique. We... -
Development of a method for matchout labelling of DNA for SANS stuctural stud...
Here we propose to study DNA extracted from a range of deuterated cultures to identify culture conditions that result in matchout labelled DNA. Such information has been... -
Wavelength dependence of the incoherent contribution to the total scattering ...
As a result of our previous experiments on D3, it is now demonstrated that the incoherent contribution to the total scattering from liquid water (as a prototype hydrogenous... -
Optimization of the polarization analysis under high pressure
The xyz polarization analysis is suitable to study the possible presence of antiferromagnetic correlations on a sample. If these correlations appear under high pressure we need... -
Toward real-space studies of magnetic correlations
We have recently derived the foundational equations for magnetic pair distribution function (mPDF) analysis, a novel approach to studying short-range magnetic correlations by... -

We request beamtime on D19 to continue the crystallographic de novo phasing methodological proof-of-principle using enriched 113-Cd substituted perdeuterated Pyrococcus furiosus... -
Direct Localization of Membrane-Bound Proteins with Grazing-IncidenceNeutron ...
With the planned experiments we aim at the precise and unambiguous localization by of Grazing-Incidence Neutron Fluorescence (GINF) of proteins bound to solid-supported lipid... -
Three compound study of Neutron SCD data quality benchmark experiments
We propose to measure the same single crystal sample of three compounds that emphasize different aspects of structure analysis of neutron SCD data:1. Natrolite (Na2 Al2 Si3... -
Feasibility studies of freeze-trapping of structural intermediates inproteins...
We propose to use the recently tested D19 cryostream system to investigate the possibility to cryo-trap structural intermediates in enzyme reactions. Although cryo-trapping is a... -
Feasibility studies of anomalous scattering phasing in neutron crystallography
We request beamtime on D19 to carry out crystallographic de novo phasing using enriched 113-Cd substituted perdeuterated Pyrococcus furiosus rubredoxin at cryogenic temperature.... -
Demonstration of high position resolution Gd-GEM detectors for macromolecular...
Neutron macromolecular crystallography is a technique that requires detectors with high spatial resolution, such as image plates. For spallation sources time-of-flight... -

The general goal of this project is the experimental validation of a new moderation concept to produce very cold neutron (VCNs) with large potential impact for condensed-matter... -
Investigation of a possible hyperfine splitting in the hydrogen molecule at n...
In previous experiments at the ILL the transmission of ultracold neutrons (UCN) through liquid and solid ortho-deuterium was measured. While the general 1/v-behavior of the...
