Fourth prize winner of the 2nd ´Illustrating NMI3´ Picture Competition :
Andrew Sazonov from Laboratoire Léon Brillouin for his photograph of the new 5C1 spectrometer at LLB, CEA-Saclay.
The new very intense polarized neutron diffractometer VIP on the hot source of the Orphée reactor, Laboratoire Léon Brillouin. VIP has 64 position sensitive detectors presenting a large detection angular range of about one steradian. Polarized neutron diffraction is a rather unique technique in magnetism as it takes full advantage of the neutron magnetic moment and gives direct access to the spin density distribution in the unit cell
