Abstract

Three reflectometers have been built on the Second Target Station at the ISIS neutron facility. These instruments: INTER, POLREF and OFFSPEC take advantage of the high flux and broad bandwidth available on the Second Target Station to provide experimental opportunities in the study of soft matter and thin film magnetism.
