Abstract

The E3 residual stress neutron diffractometer operated at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) is designed for studies in material science and engineering applications. Recent upgrade activities have made the instrument faster and more adaptable to different types of measurement. Thus, E3 has become more attractive to a broad user community, including industry, and increased substantially its scientific output.
