Abstract: The Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) is an international research centre at the leading edge of neutron science and technology. As the worldâs flagship centre for neutron science, the ILL provides scientists with a very high flux of neutrons feeding some 40 state-of- the-art instruments, which are constantly being developed and upgraded. The instruments of the nuclear and particle physics group (NPP) and their fields of research are briefly presented. ILLâs two ultracold neutron installations are described in more detail. The ongoing research program using ultracold neutrons as measuring the lifetime of the free neutron, the search for an electric dipole moment and gravity resonance spectroscopy are highlighted.
