Experiments and instruments

A series of short movies showing how neutron experiments are prepared or performed. Some of these movies have an historical interest since they captured important moments in the life of the ILL.

SALSA

An advanced neutron strain analyser (2005)

SALSA is an advanced neutron strain analyser for large scale engineering applications. It is dedicated to the determination of residual stresses in a broad range of applications in terms of components and materials. It is designed for actually performing diffraction measurements on “real” engineering components and is optimised for stress determination in metallic components.

The video below demonstrates its main features and how it operates.
