Abstract

This case study is a result of a six-week feasibility exercise, the aim of which was to explore the extend to which existing visualization software can be used for visualizing ISIS neutron scattering data. ISIS is an experimental facility devoted to the use of pulsed neutrons and muons to investigate the microscopic structure and dynamics of all classes of condensed matter. The feasibility study demonstrated the benefits of using visualization in exploring material science data, and also proved that it is possible to satisfy most of the requirements ISIS researchers place on a software environment by using application visualization systems (AVSs), and without writing any new code. The problems encountered and possible solutions are discussed
