McMaster University is building up a team of neutron scientists, technicians and programmers with interests in both instrumentation and materials research at the Canadian Neutron Beam Laboratory (CNBL). The CNBL is an emerging neutron beam facility based at
the 5 MW McMaster Nuclear Reactor. As the CNBL grows into a national user facility, it will enable Canada’s strong neutron user community to perform characterization of materials for both fundamental and applied research. These experiments generate vital knowledge
and underpin technologies in areas such as energy, environment, health, and quantum devices. Experiments at the CNBL provide Canadian users with essential training and foundational measurements to leverage effective use of major international neutron sources.</div>

The CNBL is tasked with developing a suite of five neutron diffractometers at the MNR. It has an operational neutron diffractometer and is commissioning a small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrument. The other three are newly funded through the CFI 2020
Innovation Fund project “Building a Future for Canadian Neutron Scattering,” a national collaboration of 17 universities. The CNBL is currently housed within the Department of Physics and Astronomy at McMaster University.</div>
