Center for Scattering Methods

The Center for Scattering Methods is an infrastructure platform for scattering methods supported by the Faculty of Science. It hosts a broad range of instrumentation for static and dynamic light scattering and small and wide angle X-ray scattering.

Large facilities and institutes

CSM has a strong connection with beamlines at MAXIV and ESS. Due to this we are an excellent platform to direct users for further studies at these large facilities when needed. A good community for neutron and x-ray scattering is the LINXS institute where several members of CSM organization are associated.
