Applied Science Group
The Applied Science group operates the recently expanded suite of ILL imaging instruments, together with instruments for strain scanning and irradiation. It includes dedicated resources for enhanced industrial collaborations. The It will benefit from and enhance the increasingly important relationship between neutron scattering and industry as companies seek more efficient and sustainable methods to develop and manufacture materials, ensure quality control and optimise manufacturing processes.
The ILL is currently expanding its installed imaging capabilities, to keep up with the high demand and potential for imaging techniques. The new group will include the imaging instruments NeXT, MoTo, PorTo and ThRILL, as well as the SALSA strain scanning instrument and the TENIS irradiation station.
The recently appointed leader of the Applied Science Instrument Group is Markus Strobl, currently vice-president of the International Society of Neutron Radiography, ISNR.
