Neutron pressure devices are available in cooperation with the responsible members of LNS.

Before writing a proposal involving pressure, please check the feasibility with both the instrument scientist, and the relevant pressure cell responsible:

• J. White: clamp cells - single crystal inelastic and elastic ns, Paris-Edinburgh Press - powder elastic ns, single crystal elastic ns in favourable cases.
  
• D. Sheptiakov: clamp cells - powder elastic ns.
  

Below is a link to a file that provides an overview of the routinely available pressure options at SINQ.
