Abstract
The Liquids and Amorphous Diffractometer (LAD) was in operation for 17 years. Initially it was used at the Harwell Linac neutron source, starting in 1982. Then, from the start of operations in 1984, it ran at the ISIS pulsed neutron source. LAD was instrumental in the development of the pulsed neutron diffraction technique, and it was finally dismantled at the end of 1998 to make way for a next generation neutron diffractometer, GEM (GEneral Materials diffractometer). A large and varied program of science was carried out on LAD, leading to about 280 scientific papers so far. A meeting was held in March 1999 to celebrate the contribution of LAD to the study of disordered materials and the papers from this meeting are published in this special issue of Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter.
