BILBY is a recently constructed and commissioned time‐of‐flight small‐angle neutron scattering instrument, operated by the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). BILBY provides a wide accessible q range (q ≃ 1.0 × 10−3 Å−1 to ∼1.8 Å−1) and variable wavelength resolution (Δλ/λ ≃ 3–30%) to complement the other small‐angle and ultra‐small‐angle neutron scattering capabilities available at ANSTO. Since its construction, BILBY has been used to study samples from a wide range of scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics and materials science. This article describes the BILBY design and components, and shows data collected from a number of reference samples. A description is presented of the instrument design and performance of BILBY, the new time‐of‐flight small‐angle neutron scattering instrument located at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation.
