Neutron scattering techniques are widely used in research areas of condensed matter such as those performed in solid-state physics, chemistry, materials science, biology and polymers. An EC funded project resulted to significant enhancement of the energy resolution of high energy neutrons, which may contribute to further improvements in their analysis and detection.

An EC funded project developed a novel high efficient detector for neutrons at eV energies that may provide an overall almost twofold increase in count rate.
