<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk4055103"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">* Currently, the new vSANS instrument works very well for SANS experiments. In other words, it covers essentially the same Q-range as
our 30 m SANS machines. Unlike our other SANS instruments, vSANS has 2 detectors each with about 3 times the area of our old detectors allowing a wider Q-range in a single measurement. There are also 3 options for wavelength spread: 1% (λ = 0.475 nm), 13%
(variable λ using a velocity selector), and 30% (λ ≈ 0.5 nm). Polarized beam and polarization analysis are also available. All SANS sample environments except the 9 T horizontal field magnet can be used on vSANS.

that the extended low-Q range will be available in this proposal round. We are also still fixing a variety of small problems. Thus, we are offering 75 days instead of the eventual 90 so that time is available to complete commissioning. By applying for time,
you are agreeing to help us by testing vSANS and providing feedback so that we can ensure reliable service in the future. </span></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
