About Mantid

The Mantid project provides a framework that supports high-performance computing and visualisation of materials science data.

Mantid has been created to manipulate and analyse neutron scattering and muon spectroscopy data, but could be applied to many other techniques.

The framework is open source and supported on multiple target platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac). It includes and benefits from many other open source projects.

Workbench has replaced MantidPlot

MantidPlot served us well for 12 years, but has aged and cannot be supported in newer operating systems. MantidWorkbench is a replacement using newer technologies and more robust development approaches. version 5.1 (released September 2020) is the final release to include MantidPlot.

Quick Start Guide

We have a collection of Mantid training courses that are a great place to start. We run these at facilities as a hands on course (keep an eye on the news section for upcoming courses), but you can also use the course as self-paced training.
