The experiments performed at the ILL are chosen following a highly competitive selection process involving international experts. The ILL receives almost 1500 requests for access to neutron beamtime e

Modern science possesses a variety of methods to investigate the structure and dynamics of materials.  Each of these has its own strengths and weaknesses. Neutrons have a number of unique ad

The ILL is a service facility. Its purpose is to provide the international scientific community with the brightest beams of neutrons possible. Most of its neutron beams are used to probe materials.&nb

Modern societies are technology driven. Progress in many scientific areas depends on understanding materials at their molecular level, whether we are interested in the components of an electronic circ

Etant donné l'importance des neutrons, il n'est guère étonnant qu'un réseau très compétitif de sources de neutrons existe aux quatre coins du monde.  Outre l'ILL la France compte une autre source

The ILL is an international facility. It is run by its Associates, the three founding countries Germany, France and the United Kingdom. Each of the founding countries contributes about 25 % to th

Grenoble has a plethora of excellent research institutions and universities, and therefore offers ideal conditions for fruitful scientific collaboration. Despite its strong international ties, the ILL

Given the importance of neutrons, it is not surprising that there is a highly competitive network of neutron facilities all over the world.  The ILL has flagship status among neutron fa

All the neutrons on earth are bound in nuclei. Some of these nuclei are unstable, and they free up neutrons when they decay. This is the case of uranium, used in the ILL reactor. In commercial power p

It is one of the ILL's missions to provide  the scientific community with innovative instrumentation for neutron science. The ILL is therefore continuously monitoring and developing neutron
