The Neutron Beam Expansion Program at the Bragg Institute

The Bragg Institute is operating the neutron scattering science facilities at the Australian research reactor OPAL. The first set of seven neutron scattering instruments was provided as part of the OPAL construction project which was completed in 2007. During the period 2008 – 2013, the instrument suite was significantly expanded by a further seven instruments. In addition to this, major investments were made to establish a world-class infrastructure for supporting these instruments, including new sample environments, 3He polarisers/analysers, additional neutron guides and a Be filter option for chemical spectroscopy.
