N2 - Science with neutrons has a longstanding tradition in Germany, since its foundation in 1957, by Heinz Maier-Leibnitz, when the first neutron source Forschungsreaktor München (FRM) started operation. With this first nuclear reactor in Germany, a widely spread range of applications from neutron scattering to irradiations and medical cancer treatment was envisaged from the beginning. Following the motto of Maier-Leibnitz, “Do some thing new,” the development of neutron instrumentation played an important part in the activities at FRM. High precision measurements of the scattering length of thermal neutrons, neutron guides, small angle scattering, back scattering, turbine for ultra cold neutrons, and neutron irradiation at liquid He temperatures, all these techniques are strongly connected to the FRM, since most were applied first in Munich.
