Five of the six instruments are state of the art, including the following: the BT5-USANS, a unique, ultrasmall-angle neutron scattering instrument; the NG2-HFBS, a state-of-the-art inelastic high flux backscattering spectrometer (HFBS) with the highest count rate and smallest energy resolution in the world; the NG3-30 m SANS, a workhorse instrument and the only polarized SANS in the United States; the NG5-Spin-Echo spectrometer, which will be upgraded with a guide, polarizer, and improved magnetic-field compensation, making it competitive with the new instrument under construction at the Spallation Neutron Source; and the NG5-SPINS, which has the highest magnetic field on a spin-polarized inelastic neutron scattering instrument in the United States.

The instrument is now oversubscribed by a factor of 1.6, a number that is likely to grow in the near future. The increased workload for CHRNS personnel warrants additional support so that an expanded summer school can be offered and the excellent user program and high-impact science conducted with the CHRNS instruments can be maintained.
