The ILL instruments are optimised to analyse the structure and dynamics of your materials and samples under predetermined conditions (temperature, pressure, stress, ageing, during reactions).


In many cases, neutrons are the only means of obtaining this information.


ILL has an active industrial R&D programme and is developping neutron technology for industrial applications.
