hela Sverige The European Spallation Source (ESS) has the ambition to become the brightest source of neutrons for science and technology and be operational by the end of this decade. 22 state of the art neutron scattering instruments will be made available to addressing a wide range of scientific fields in fundamental and materials science.
The Science Directorate oversees the ESS neutron scientific activities with a structure including the Data Management and Software Centre (DMSC), the Scientific Activities Division, consisting of a research coordination office, sample environment and sample support groups, and the newly created Instrument Divisions. These divisions will oversee the commissioning of the 15 instruments currently in construction, play a key role in the choice of instruments 16 to 22, and prepare and lead scientific output from the facility.
