Diamond Phase III: 10 new beamlines for the UK synchrotron
The Diamond Board, in collaboration with the Research Councils, has now approved the selection of all 10 Phase III beamlines, which will bring the facility’s beamline total up to 32. Diamond’s management would like to thank all the scientific communities for their continuous support and involvement during the whole of the Phase III selection process and look forward to new capabilities and exciting science as these beamlines come into operation.
