Neutron and muon sources
Neutrons and muons are used by researchers from a broad range of scientific disciplines including:
- condensed matter science
- materials science
- chemistry
- engineering
- earth science
- engineering
- archaeometry
Neutrons and muons enable scientists to study the atomic and molecular arrangements that give materials their unique properties.
Research carried out using neutrons or muons is often complementary to that carried out using x-rays. Further information on x-ray sources can be found on the synchrotron light sources page
STFC Facilities
ISIS (link opens in a new window) is the world's most powerful pulsed neutron spallation source.
European facilities
STFC manages the UK subscription to the Institut Laue-Langevin (link opens in a new window) (ILL), a reactor-based neutron source in Grenoble, France. With international funding and expertise, ILL supports approximately 800 experiments each year.
