Materials engineering by neutron scattering (MENUS) at the second target station will be a transformational high-flux, versatile, multiscale materials engineering diffraction beamline with unprecedented new capabilities for the study of complex materials and structures. It will support both fundamental and applied materials research in a broad range of fields. MENUS will combine unprecedented long-wavelength neutron flux and unique detector coverage to enable real-time studies of complex structural and functional materials under external stimuli. The incorporated small angle neutron scattering and transmission/imaging capabilities will extend its sensitivity to larger length scales and higher spatial resolution. Multimodal MENUS will provide crystallographic and microstructure data to the materials science and engineering community to understand lattice strain/phase transition/microstructure/texture evolution in three orthogonal directions in complex material systems under combined extreme applied conditions. The capabilities of MENUS will open new scientific opportunities and meet the research needs for science challenges to enable studies of a range of phenomena and answer the key questions in material design/exploration, advanced material processing, transformative manufacturing, and material operations of national impacts in our daily life.
