guides, or beamlines, to around 30 neutron instruments. The target stations and most of the instruments are set inside two large halls known as target stations.

Since the proton beam is pulsed, the energy of the neutrons that are produced can be determined by time-of-flight (TOF) techniques - this is a key bit of information needed to study atomic-level structures and dynamics.

ISIS is one of several proton accelerator-based neutron sources in the world, alongside J-PARC in Japan, SNS in the
