# Horizontal high-field magnet for neutron experiments at SINQ

The Paul Scherrer Institute seeks a horizontal high-field magnet system for neutron research at the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source (SINQ). The specified combination is a maximum horizontal field of 6 T and cumulative horizontal beam access of at least 315°, with asymmetrically arranged openings intended to support use across SINQ instruments. The system is specifically optimized for intensity mapping with large-area position-sensitive detectors on CAMEA, DMC and ZEBRA. Offers are due on 22 December 2026 at 10:00 CET; electronic submission is allowed. Variants are permitted, and offer validity is 120 days.

# Horizontal high-field magnet with ultra-wide neutron-beam access

The Paul Scherrer Institute plans to procure a horizontal high-field magnet system for neutron research at SINQ. It must combine a maximum horizontal field of 6 T with cumulative horizontal beam access of at least 315°, and its asymmetric openings must allow use with all SINQ instruments. The system is optimized for instruments with large-area position-sensitive detectors, including CAMEA, DMC and ZEBRA. Execution is scheduled from 1 February 2027 to 30 September 2028. Offers in English are due digitally through SIMAP by 22 December 2026 at 10:00 CET. Partial offers are excluded, variants and options are allowed, consortia are not allowed, and subcontracting is permitted. Award and qualification criteria are in the tender documents.

    "text": "The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) plans to purchase a new, globally unique horizontal high-fieldmagnet system with ultra-wide beam access, for use in neutron science research at the Swissnational neutron source (SINQ).The system is envisioned in a manner that uniquely combines a maximum horizontal field strength of 6T, with an ultra-wide beam access in the horizontal plane that cumulatively is more than or equal to 315°. An asymmetric arrangement of magnet openings for the neutron beams access will ensure that the system can be used for any SINQ instrument, yet it is to be optimized specifically for exploiting the intensity mapping capabilities of SINQ instruments with large area position-sensitive detectors, namely the spectrometer CAMEA and the diffractometers DMC and ZEBRA.",
