Mantid¶

The Mantid Framework has been created to visualise, manipulate and analyse neutron and muon scattering data. Mantid can be used though several Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) and programming languages, including:

MantidPlot, the original interface supporting a wide range of techniques and visualisation approaches.
MantidWorkbench, A modern interface with growing supports for a list of techniques.
Autoreduction services at specific facilities, including ISIS and the SNS.
API’s for Python and C++.
