The neutron backscattering technique first entered into my consciousness when I was attending a conference on hydrogen in metals in 1972 in Jülich. One of the names in hydrogen in metals at the time was Georg Alefeld and his brother Bert Alefeld was also attending the conference. I asked him about his backscattering spectrometer and we headed off in his VW Beetle to the Dido Reactor on the...

With the invention of neutron backscattering in Munich µeV-spectroscopy combined with Ångström-sensitivity became accessible, albeit in a tedious way due to the low count rate. However, the technique found its way to more powerful reactors with cold sources and large guides, and a suite of innovative instrument designs widely exploiting beam focussing and including an active phase space...
