Advancing Neutron Facilities Together 2025: Instrumentation, Source Operation, and International Collaboration between SINQ and MLF

This workshop aims to provide a platform for researchers and engineers from J-PARC/MLF and PSI/SINQ to share the technical knowledge and expertise they have developed, and to explore possibilities for collaboration in the upcoming upgrade projects at both facilities. This is a satellite WS of BRIDGE2025.

Note:

Please register by 23:59 on the 16th of October if you wish to join the MLF on-site tour.
