Panda

Hi and welcome on PANDA! We hope that you will like our instrument.

PANDA team - Adrian, Yi, Astrid

News

  • 2026-10 MJOLNIR now manages synthetic BAMBUS data, next step is to decide on the file format. Many thanks to Zamaan, Luisa and Yi!
  • Zamaan takes over the cooperation on TAKIN, too.
  • We are going to finish the documentation / licensing of the new sample positioning system, which works already well with the new decentralized electronics.
  • 2026-08 Yi joins the PANDA team, successing Lukas as the instrument scientist.
  • 2026-06 Lukas changes to BIFROST - we hope for continued contact and fruitful cooperation within the Singel Crystal INS community. Enjoy the North, Lund and the exciting ESS enviroment!
  • 2026-04 Aslu left PANDA - all the best for you!!!
  • 2026-02 - Instrument scientists from the European SCINS community met in Slough for discussing cooperation and synergies.
  • 2025-11 Hej Petr and colleagues from Prague - welcome for testing your robot on PANDA!
  • Alsu joined the PANDA team.
  • Adrian is the responsible technician on PANDA now.
  • Zamaan cares about the data analysys on BAMBUS - cooperation with CAMEA is re-activated. Looking forward a creative work - thank you Jakob and Daniel for your openess.
  • Lukas started to work as an instrument scientist.
  • Long shutdown of FRM II - we renew the electronics, the sample table, and prepare BAMBUS for operation
  • We had a very successful I2NS workshop: https://workshops.ill.fr/event/252/ - thanks to all speakers, participants and organizers!.
  • We moved to the offices in building UYL. Please note our new phone numbers.

Publications

Panda publications represent results on magnetic exciations and phonons in

  • strongly correlated systems
  • frustrated systems
  • superconductors
  • other model materials
  • multiferroic materials

and on hybridization effects of phonons and magnetic exciationa.

Newcomer guide

Are you new to PANDA? You should read our short introduction guide, where you will learn:

Learn more about PANDA

Sample Environment

Reaching low temperatures, high magnetic field and high pressures brings serious limitation for sample size and signal/noise ratio. If you consider application of special sample environment (everything below 3 K and/or with magnetic field), you should read about our limitations.

  • dimensions of the cryostats
  • usual cooling times
  • restrictions in movement and reachable Q/E space
  • remarks about available high field magnets

Simulations

If you want to learn details about PANDA, the best is to use our prepared configuration files for neutron raytracing programs.

  • McStas code
  • Simres code

Data analysis

After the experiment, you usually obtain only a few kB of well formated ASCII data produced by our instrument control software NICOS.

  • Matlab macro to read datafiles with metadata
  • Python macro to read datafiles with metadata
  • UFit suite to do advanced data analysis and evaluation
  • TAKIN for resolution calculation and fitting
