Work Package 2: A strategy to deliver neutrons for Europe and beyond

Work Package 2 aims to define the best way to provide neutron instrumentation, associated characterisation methods and analysis tools in a strategic and coordinated fashion to the European user community and beyond. The specific task objectives of WP2 are:

• Establishing a common roadmap and implementation strategy for future neutron capability in terms of the instrumentation available at neutron facilities and their partners, while taking into consideration global perspectives,
• Defining and reporting the needs of the user communities in terms of new neutron-based methods in alignment with the ESS facility capabilities. Regular updates will be provided when needed,
• Exploring and implementing new ways of working for the most efficient usage of neutrons through two pilots, an experimentally-validated Neutron Quality Label for residual stress, and strengthened soft matter and life sciences with deuterated samples, respectively.
