The recent Science Division reorganisation has resulted in a rationalisation of the beamlines that were originally members of the Surfaces & Interfaces village. The new Structures and Surfaces Group consists of four beamlines, I05 (Angle Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy – ARPES), I07 (Surface and Interface X-ray Diffraction), B07 (Versatile Soft X-ray Scattering – VERSOX) and I09 (Surface and Interface Structural Analysis – SISA). There will be a much closer working relationship within this new structure, including more extensive internal collaborative research and improved offline facilities to serve the user community. The alignment has extended beyond just the science division and we are now able to work much more closely with engineering colleagues and software developers that are aligned with the new groups, leading to common solutions across the beamlines.
