PTB offers external scientists to use some of her large scientific devices - for example PTB's PIAF accelerator facility in Braunschweig or PTB's Core Facility ''Metrologie of Ultra-Low Magnetic Fields'' in Berlin.
External use of PTB's large devices
Accelerator facility PIAF
The EU funds research projects in various fields in which neutron- and ion-induced nuclear reactions play a role:
- Nuclear data for energy production and other applications (
ARIEL) - Nuclear data for nuclear astrophysics (ChETEC-INFRA)
- Radiation-induced effects in microelectronic structures (RADNEXT)
Within the framework of these projects, scientists from EU member states and associated countries can apply for support in the use of PTB's PIAF accelerator facility for their projects.
Core Facility ''Metrologie of Ultra-Low Magnetic Fields
Since 1 May 2017, PTB operates a new Core Facility called ''Metrology for Ultra-Low Magnetic Fields'' on its site in Berlin-Charlottenburg. Funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), PTB grants external scientists from universities, from international metrology institutes and from companies access to its know-how and to its equipment with instruments for the measurement of ultra-low magnetic fields – equipment which is unique in the world.
