Campus news - The Research Neutron Source FRM II of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is a magnet for researchers from a wide array of disciplines. Working groups of the Forschungszentrum Jülich have settled in Garching. And every year around 1000 guest scientists from around the world visit Garching to perform measurements at FRM II. Two new buildings that celebrate their ground-breaking today will alleviate the acute shortage of space. The number of scientific instruments at the Garching Research Neutron Source has grown in recent years from 15 to 27, with six further instruments currently under construction. Since the new instrumentation requires additional operators, the size of staff continues to grow. Today, over 400 people work at FRM II and the Heinz Maier-Leibniz Zentrum (MLZ) , which unites under its organizational umbrella the scientific work of the neutron researchers of the TU Munich, the Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht.
