The next Inside Diamond open day will feature stalls and activities, a short introduction to Diamond and a tour of the machine. We expect the visit will last around two and a half hours. Booking for open days opens 6-8 weeks in advance of the event. Click here for more details.
The meeting will concentrate on hard x-ray diffraction studies, largely from XMaS and I16, with a strong focus on collaborative projects between experimental and theoretical groups. We thus plan to encourage talks that are split between the theoretical and experimental teams and emphasise the value of such collaborations. One of our main goals is to strengthen experimental/theoretical collaborations in the future in order to make more effective use of the facilities.
