Instruments
Fifteen instruments for science are included in the ESS construction project. Each instrument is unique, optimised for obtaining particular kinds of scientific data.
At the European Spallation Source (ESS), fifteen specialised scientific instruments are currently being installed. Each instrument is designed to capture specific types of scientific data.
These versatile instruments are designed to support the research needs of diverse scientific communities. This collaborative effort involves expertise from across Europe and around the world, resulting in instruments with the potential to offer novel insights into complex scientific challenges.
The 15 instruments have been selected to span a broad range of experimental techniques and scientific fields. Anticipated to join the ESS user programme in the later part of the 2020s, they promise to enhance scientific understanding.
Future plans include expanding the instrument suite to 22, presenting additional scientific opportunities at ESS.
