2018 UPDATE: The ILL between 2005 and 2018
Fig. 11.1: The exchange of beam-tubes such as the H1-H2 shown here is part of the continuous upgrade of key reactor components.
An important aspect of instrumental development was the use
of large area detectors, especially for time-of-flight instruments (Fig. 11.2). This has proved to be an essential step in matching the performances of pulsed neutron source instruments; such detectors were pioneered in particular by the ISIS spallation source.
The final instrument to be completed at the ILL was a high- performance wide-angle neutron spin-echo spectrometer (WASP); this world-leading inelastic instrument, shown in Fig. 11.3,
will extend spin-echo spectrometry to time domains hitherto inaccessible, opening up new scientific fields.
