Celebrating 20 Years of Scientific Advancements at the ISIS Centre

The ISIS Centre in Oxfordshire is celebrating its 20th anniversary. It houses a powerful particle accelerator that provides pulsed beams of neutrons and muons for research in condensed matter and is a significant source of neutrinos for fundamental physics studies. Neutrons are produced through the spellation process, where a heavy metal target is bombarded with energetic protons. The centre supports an international community of 1600 scientists and is expanding with a new facility to enhance its research capabilities.
