The Millennium instrumentation programme aimed at the production and delivery of optimally tailored neutron beams
to upgraded or newly designed instruments. For example, refurbishing the neutron guides provided a gain of ~ 10 in the neutron flux at instruments. The overall gain factor, allowing
for all relevant factors (principally improved neutron transport and detection), lies between 20 and 25 averaged over the entire instrument suite, an excellent result for the total investment 77 M€ (Fig. 11.4).
