the
brightest neutron source in the world, reliably delivering intense
neutron
beams to 40 unique scientific instruments. The Institute welcomes 1700
visiting
scientists per year to carry out world-class research in solid-state
physics,
crystallography, soft matter, biology, chemistry and fundamental
physics.
Funded primarily by its three founder members: France, Germany and the
United
Kingdom, the ILL has also signed scientific collaboration agreements
with 10
other European countries. The Science Division is currently seeking to
