If you have a question about this talk, please contact Valentin Hübner .

I will describe the mathematics that underpins new experiments designed to measure magnetic fields inside materials by shooting them with neutron beams from different directions, like in a CT scan. The problem is packed with some beautiful geometry and analysis, where the star of the show is a matrix in SO(3) obtained by solving a suitable linear ODE along straight lines in the plane. Very little will be needed to formulate and understand the problem: IA Differential Equations and Groups.
