Date: Fri. 15th June 2012
Venue: G53 & 54, Diamond House
As part of a major upgrade project on the I11 powder diffraction beamline at Diamond, we are planning to construct a facility for Long Duration Experiments (LDE). The new facility will be unique within the synchrotron world as it will be used for scientific investigations where samples will be maintained at, or cycled through, various non-ambient conditions for extended periods of weeks to months or even up to a year or more. The emphasis will be on automated control and the periodic collection of data interleaved with the regular operation of the existing I11 beamline. The upgrade will involve the construction of a large second experimental hutch to specifically house the LDE equipment. It will benefit researchers working in a wide range of disciplines (pharmaceuticals, engineering and chemistry to physics, materials science and Earth & planetary sciences, etc). We would therefore like to invite you to attend the workshop and your input will help to decide the design requirements and key specifications to shape the future of this exciting development.
