Dear MLZ users,
this time, you can read an update on the ongoing projects at the MLZ/ FRM II, follow the construction of a shielding, and get a glimpse of experimental physics!
Enjoy reading,

Ghost whispering
 |
Sadly, I see that there is still no new proposal round in view. I am longing for work! However, the sometimes-daily boredom has disappeared, as we have new and friendly staff in the User Office. Tatjana Burmann newly arrived in April, taking care of many organisational issues, and Iris Köhler, very competent in graphics design since June, are working with Ina on new and exciting developments and projects.
As mentioned, occasionally, I manage to escape from my daily computing duties and flow around the corridors to pick up some whispering. Unfortunately, the three ladies from the User Office are very attentive and quickly shouting at me to return to work.
But if there are booths to man, then I am officially allowed to leave the Garching site! This year, I have been in Berlin at the DPG Spring Meeting (in a TENT! It was an entirely new experience!) and at Aachen for the German Neutron Scattering Conference. I was impressed that the firefighters on site knew we were dealing with hot topics in science. Even though this has never ended up burning our brochures, we were not allowed to present our usual booth at the conference. But it was also fun just floating around!
