Abstract (English)

The aim of the Techni project is to assist all of the scientific users of neutron facilities throughout Europe by improving the instrumentation at these facilities. This will be done through research directed towards developing more effective technologies for neutron detection, neutron optics, and collimation. The aim of this RTD project is therefore to improve both the scientific quality of Europe's neutron scattering instrumentation, and the volume access offered.
