An animation of a neutron scattering instrument at ANSTO

Aligning Taipan, one of ANSTO's neutron scattering instruments

Scientists ensure their measurements are accurate and precise by regularly calibrating their instruments. In this data set, students manipulate and graph calibration data from Taipan, one of ANSTO's neutron scattering instruments. Students must determine whether Taipan is functioning within the acceptable limits of error for the scientists' experiments.
