Abstract
Three main neutron spectrometer types, or classes, exist for the study of quasi-elastic neutron scattering, the type chosen dictating the temporal and spatial range accessible for scientific exploration. Understanding the basic operating principles of these different classes helps one decide which is best-matched for a particular scientific need. This chapter therefore précises the international neutron science facility landscape, the currently available suite of QENS spectrometers and details routine operation and characteristics.
