Sika

(cold three-axis spectrometer)

We are in the process of installing the Sika dance floor (supporting plates shown below). When completed, the dance floor will comprise 50m² of highly polished black granite on which the instruments will move around on high-precision air pads under computer control. Sika, the 9^th neutron beam instrument at the OPAL reactor, is an $8M project funded by the National Science Council of Taiwan, and managed by the National Central University.
