Magnetic fields are provided by a conical magnet, offering angular access of \u00b115\u00b0 and \u00b130\u00b0 in the scattering horizontal plane, developed by the LNCMI-Toulouse, with a cryostat specially designed by the ILL-Grenoble. This magnet produces a horizontal pulsed-field of long-duration (total duration of 100 ms, with a rise time of 23 ms) and high <em>duty cycle<\/em> (40-T shots can be repeated every 10 min). The sample temperature is regulated between 2 and 300 K independently from the pulsed field generation. The sample, aligned with respect to the field direction and area of interest in the reciprocal space, is glued on a sample-holder made from single crystalline sapphire. The maximum available volume for the sample is 7 x 6 x 6 mm\u00b3.      <\/p>\n<p>At each probed scattering position, the field dependence of the neutron intensities is extracted by summing the data accumulated over a few pulsed-field shots, with either constant time- or constant field-integration windows (the rise and fall of the pulsed field are analyzed separately).<\/p>\n<p><u>Proposal evaluation<\/u> : In order to use the mobile pulsed-field installation at the ILL neutron source, users will go through the appropriate selection committee at ILL. When submitting their proposal, users will choose the IN22 spectrometer on the proposal form. The equipment can only be used with support from LNCMI who provides and operates the magnet and power supply, therefore a LNCMI scientist will be included in the proposal and experimental team. Users who wish to submit a proposal and use this equipment are strongly advised to contact the LNCMI and CEA scientists (contacts below) before the final submission in order to investigate the feasibility of the work.    <\/p>\n<p><strong>Contacts: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fabienne Duc (Toulouse): <a href=\"mailto:fabienne.duc@lncmi.cnrs.fr\">fabienne.duc@lncmi.cnrs.fr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bourdarot (CRG-CEA IN22@ILL): <a href=\"mailto:bourdaro@ill.fr\">bourdaro@ill.fr<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Link to ILL :<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ill.eu\/for-all-users\/applying-for-beamtime\/important-dates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.ill.eu\/for-all-users\/applying-for-beamtime\/important-dates<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Pulsed fields and laser : LNCMI &amp; LULI 2000 or Apollon<\/h4>\n<p><span>Projects are evaluated using the LULI evaluation procedure.

Magnetic fields of up to 30 T parallel to the X-ray beam are produced by a pulsed magnet at high <em>duty cycle<\/em>, with a rise time of ~10 ms and a pulse duration of ~23 ms. XMCD spectra are obtained by differencing absorption spectra measured by varying either the polarity of the field (opposite <strong>+H<\/strong> and <strong>-H<\/strong> direction), or the polarization of the X-ray beam (right or left circular polarization). The field dependence of the absorption spectrum is recorded using a multi-image detection system. The polished sample (single crystals thinned to around 10-15 \u03bcm depending on the threshold of the element probed) is sandwiched between two diamond windows and mounted in a dynamic helium flow cryostat in which the sample is cooled by forced convection.    <\/p>\n<p><u>Proposal evaluation<\/u>: In order to use the mobile pulsed-field installation at the ESRF, users will submit their project to the ESRF selection committee.
