Project overview
This project, funded as an ISIS Facility Development Studentship, worked on the commissioning of the new IMAT beamline at the UK’s ISIS Neutron Facility.
Project objectives
The IMAT beamline was designed to combine neutron imaging, diffraction, and texture measurements in a single instrument, and the project delivered characterisation of the beamline performance, the development of novel analysis methods for neutron Bragg edge strain analysis, and exemplar applications of the new instrument to aerospace materials and structures.
