Description

Since its origin in 2007 Mantid [1] has become an essential tool for Neutron and Muon data reduction at ISIS, ORNL, ILL, PSI, MLZ and beyond. The Mantid collaboration have built the data structures, algorithms and scripts needed to process instrument data and a workbench with workflow centred user interfaces to make an expanding range of techniques accessible to scientist and users. Mantid is a free and open-source package, developed and maintained by software engineers across the international facilities in close collaboration with instrument scientists.

We present an update on the work that ISIS have been developing with recent highlights including crystallographic texture analysis and polarised SANS workflows, a new instrument viewer and performance improvements.
