The <a href="http://www.ujf.cas.cz">Nuclear Physics Institute
ASCR</a>, public research institution, is a member of the
Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. With about 250
employees, it hosts the user infrastructure CANAM, which includes
also Neutron Physics Laboratory (NPL). The NPL research team
combines expertise in the field of materials science with the
power of neutron physics. The user facilities of NPL are open to
both national and international guest scientists - at least 40% of
the instrument beam time is reserved for external research
proposals.<br>
