Today, we welcome two researchers from our sister facility in Washington DC, the NIST Center for Neutron Research, as long-term visitors.
NIST operates a 20-MW beam reactor very similar to our own OPAL Reactor, and it is presently undergoing a 10-month long shutdown to install a second cold neutron source, extra neutron guides and instruments, along with a second guide hall.
Dr. Craig Brown, a recent presidential young investigator awardee, and Ms. Yamali Hernandez will be with us until the end of September.
A third researcher, Mr. Juscelino Leao an expert in sample environments will also join us in June and stay into 2012.
