  3. Un peu d’histoire • Ideaproposedin 1964 • Laboratory funding agreed in 1967 by France and Germany • Reactor first critical in 1971; first researchers in1972 – 58 MW

  4. Evolution of ILL as world leader • World-leader for 35 years. Why? • Very high flux - 58 MW – plus hot (2700 K) and cold (20 K) sources

  5. Evolution of ILL as world leader • World-leader for 35 years. Why? • Very high flux - 58 MW – plus hot (2700 K) and cold (20 K) sources • Efficient neutron guides

  6. Evolution of ILL as world leader • World-leader for 35 years. Why? • Very high flux - 58 MW – plus hot (2700 K) and cold (20 K) sources • Efficient neutron guides • Strong culture of instrumental development

  7. A magnet for other facilities Debbie Greenfield Visit, July 2nd 2008

  8. Role of ILL in Europe • Associates (owners): France, Germany, UK • Scientific Partners • Spain 1987 • Switzerland 1988 • Austria1990 • Russia1996 • Italy1997 • Czech Rep1999 • Sweden,Hungary 2005 • Belgium, Poland 2006 • Now cover 94% of EU Grenoble

  9. Demand for beam-time • Demand for beam-time through peer-reviewed panels rising • In 2006 (reactor running for 200 days; 75% to users) • 623 experiments on 25 ILL-funded and 9 CRG instruments • 1500 visitors from 36 countries • Approximately 450 publications p.a. Debbie Greenfield Visit, July 2nd 2008

  10. National balance: access to beamtime • Beamtime allocation broadly reflects share of financial support by country Nationality of ILL users (2006) National distribution of beam-time allocated through peer review in 2006

  11. National balance: staff

  12. Staff: how we are organised • Divisions • Science; Projects and Techniques; Reactor; Administration

  13. The changing facilities landscape

  14. Staying ahead: the Millennium Programme • Strong endorsement of strategy from Associates • Additional funding (+2M€p.a.) promised for next 6 years • *** amount in this period total • But NB – this is only equivalent to 1 instrument pa renewal IN5 – x 60 gain Largest linear PSD in world for neutrons D7 x 50 World’s most efficient 3He spin filter

  15. Site development PSCM restaurant extension Partnership for Structural Biology (PSB) IBS2 deliveries and distribution creche conferences training outreach new site entrance and training centre

  16. Presqu’ile Scientifique 10 years from now? ILL Subcommittee Meeting – 4-5th November 2008
