Scientific publications

The ILL monitors the papers published as a result of the use of our facilities. This gives a figure of about 600 papers per year. We pay particular attention to papers published in high-impact journals. About 80 such papers are published annually based on data obtained at the ILL, which is a factor of two higher than the second most productive neutron source in the world.
