Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering
ACNS is accepting proposals for access from August 2023 through March 2024. Please note that OPAL will be having a long shutdown<https://www.ansto.gov.au/facilities/opal-multi-purpose-reactor/opal-2024-shutdown> from March 2024 through to July 2024 and neutrons will not be available in this period. ACNS will not be offering a 2024-1 Round due to this reason but scheduling up to March 2024 from approved applications received in this 2023-2 Round.

A range of neutron-beam instruments and capabilities are available to support your research proposal.
