​ISIS has returned to pre-Covid ways of running experiments after the long shutdown.  This means that we ​expect an experiment team to come to ISIS to run their experiment.  Please ensure you have an experiment team able to come physically to ISIS before submitting a proposal.​

 
​ISIS neutron and muon instruments are free at the point of access for academic and industry researchers, provided the results from experiments are published in the public domain.  Terms and conditions for accessing ISIS can be found here and useful information to note before applying can be found here​.  We are not able to provide T&S costs for users travelling from outside the UK​.​  For users funded through our EU Access grant or through an overseas ISIS-partnership agreement or access route, we will reimburse your travel expenses but you should make your own travel arrangements.​​

New users are always welcome at ISIS Neutron and Muon Source and we are constantl​y encouraging new areas of research that can flourish.  There are a number of routes for acad​emics and industry​ to access beamtime.  Please ​browse the box links below for further important information and guidance including links to our instrument pages​​​.
