The team of Anna Sokolova, Andrew Whitten and Liliana de Campo, who are currently commissioning the new BILBY time-of-flight small-angle neutron scattering instrument, have taken the first fully analysed broad-band data sets.  The data have been processed and analysed using the MANTID software, with a significant number of ANSTO-specific modifications.  Two examples are shown below:

2.  Data on each of BILBY and the KOOKABURRA ultra-small-angle neutron scattering instrument, from diamond-type cubosomes based on phytantriol.  The BILBY data are in absolute units, covering wavelengths between 3 and 10 Å, while the KOOKABURRA data are also in absolute units, after desmearing .  The BILBY data cover from 10-3 to 1 Å -1, and the KOOKABURRA data clearly have significant overlap, as well as extending the Q-range down to ~5.10-5 Å -1.
