Neutron tomography instrument CONRAD at HZB

The neutron tomography instrument CONRAD has been in operation since 2005 at the Hahn-Meitner research reactor at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB). Over the last 5 years, significant developmental work has been performed to expand the radiographic and tomographic capabilities of the beamline . New techniques have been implemented, including imaging with polarized neutrons , Bragg-edge mapping , high-resolution neutron imaging and grating interferometry . These methods have been provided to the user community as tools to help address scientific problems over a broad range of topics such as superconductivity, materials research, life sciences , cultural heritage and paleontology . Industrial applications including fuel cell research have also been improved through these new developments. Descriptions and parameters of the developed options will be presented, along with prominent examples.
