Laue–Langevin Institute expands

The von Laue–Langevin Institute, at Grenoble in the French Alps, is getting its second wind. This much we are told by the appellation Deuxieme Souffle, the name given to the 104‐million‐franc renewal program recently approved by the steering committee of this joint French–German–British neutron‐beam laboratory. The planned expansion of neutron sources and instrumentation should add significantly to the experimental capabilities of what is already the most powerful source of continuous neutron beams in Europe—and the leading source of cold and ultra‐cold neutrons in the world.
