With 32 beamlines in operation (including those in optimisation and commissioning modes), the end of the 2018/19 Financial Year saw the close of the third phase of construction at Diamond. A 33rd beamline, DIAD, is scheduled to begin initial operations in 2020. An overview of the activities and progress of DIAD and the final Phase III beamlines is outlined below.
