Large Scale Facilities for Research with Photons, Neutrons, and Ions (PNI)

The research programme of the Helmholtz Association „Large Scale Facilities for Research with Photons, Neutrons, and Ions (PNI)“ is part of the Helmholtz Research Field „Structure of Matter“.

The program PNI focuses on the design, development, construction and operation of large scale facilities for structural research in a broad range of fields of science and provides access to these facilities to more than 3500 users per year. The six Helmholtz centres DESY, FZJ, FZK, GKSS, GSI, and HMI contribute to PNI in their respective fields of expertise with currently operating large scale facilities.
