Canadian Neutron Beam Laboratory at McMaster

The CNBL is open

The CNBL offers medium-brightness beams for neutron diffraction. This new facility is located at the McMaster Nuclear Reactor. The CNBL is currently undergoing an expansion to 5 beamlines, funded through the CFI 2020 Innovation Fund project “Building a Future for Canadian Neutron Scattering,” awarded to McMaster University as the leader of a collaboration of 17 universities.

MAD

McMaster ALL-Purpose Diffractometer

The McMaster All-purpose Diffractometer (MAD) presently offers neutron powder diffraction and reciprocal space mapping on single crystal samples through a newly installed detector with 80-degrees of angular coverage.

MacSANS

McMaster Small Angle Neutron Scattering Beamline

The McMaster Small-Angle Neutron Scattering beamline is currently in commissioning. MacSANS is a 24-metre-long instrument that extends into a subterranean guide hall outside of the reactor building.

The McMaster Nuclear Reactor is a 5 MW multipurpose research reactor located on the campus of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
