Welcome to the

Bragg Institute

The Bragg Institute leads Australia in the use of neutron scattering and X-ray techniques to solve complex research and industrial problems in many important fields.

 

OPAL and its high-performance cold neutron source assist in placing the Bragg Institute amongst the world's leading neutron research facilities.

Commissioning licence for OPAL's 11th neutron beam instrument

Today, the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency gave approval to commence neutron beam testing of KOOKABURRA, our new ultra-small-angle neutron scattering instrument. 

Both PLATYPUS and QUOKKA are now running again with Cold Neutrons

Following the return to service of OPAL's cold neutron source on 18th July, we are glad to announce that both PLATYPUS and QUOKKA are now running "friendly-user" experiments with cold neutrons again.
