NeXus is an effort by an international group of scientists motivated to define a common data exchange format for neutron, X-ray, and muon experiments. NeXus is built on top of the scientific data format HDF5 and adds domain-specific rules for organizing data within HDF5 files in addition to a dictionary of well-defined domain-specific field names.

For I15-1, this means that every data collections will have at least one associated nexus file, as well as some ancilliary files.
