Glossary
This glossary aims at being a useful tool for the visitors of our website. It gathers ILL and neutron science related words and acronyms - and is permanently under construction! Contributions and suggestions welcome to communication(at)ill(dot)fr.
NOMAD
NOMAD is the new ILL's sequencer to control instrument operations. The project, started in 2005, was initiated to overcome the major limitations of the previous software, mainly the aging of the adopted technologies and the lack of real software architecture which was problematic in view of the integration of the functionalities required by the new generation of ILL’s instruments.
NPP
Nuclear and particule physics. The NPP instruments are excellent unique tools for examining key questions in nuclear and neutron particle physics.
