Abstract

KWS-2, operated by JCNS, Forschungszentrum Jülich, represents a classical pinhole SANS instrument where, combining the pinhole mode using different neutron wavelengths and detection distances with the focusing mode using MgF2 lenses, a wide Q-range between 1 x 10-4 and 0.5 Å-1 can be explored.
