Jose A Rodriguez (Assoc)

The NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) is a user facility that focuses on providing neutron measurement capabilities to the US research community. I am the instrument scientist of the Multi-Axis Crystal Spectrometer (MACS), a new world class neutron scattering spectrometer with high capabilities such as a very high neutron flux and fast data collection. My program research includes the areas of diffuse scattering of binary alloys, neutron instrumentation and the research of magnetic materials using neutron scattering.
