Upgrade of the ILL Neutron Spin Echo instruments

Peter Falus (Institut Laue-Langevin, France)

Since Feri Mezei invented Neutron Spin Echo spectroscopy(NSE) in 1972 ILL has always had an NSE instrument. By being the highest resolution neutron spectroscopy NSE has covered a large range of science from magnetism through soft matter and colloid science to biology. For the last 25 years there have been two ILL NSE instruments which further specialised on high resolution ( IN15) and wide Q-range ( IN11). While these instruments have been continuously improved, both of them will see a significant upgrade in the coming years. In15 will get new precession coils, and IN11 will have radically different successor WASP. Having been involved in both projects I will introduce the new instruments and give examples of the science we plan to use them for.
