From September 2016 short visits are scheduled as follows with a maximum of 10 pucks per shift permitted. This will provide increased beam time for your visits:
Time | Shift |
09:00 - 12:00 | Preparation for users |
12:00 - 19:00 | User group shift 1 |
19:00 - 02:00 | User group shift 2 |
02:00 - 09:00 | User group shift 3 |
You will need to be finished and have released the baton by the end of your shift time for considerate handover to the next user group unless otherwise discussed with beamline staff or following users.
Dewar delivery to Diamond for short visits
To provide increased beam time it is important that you ensure your dewars are delivered to Diamond at least one working day preceding your visit so that we can load pucks for your session in the preparation for user time before your session. Suggested latest shipping dates can be found here. Dewars delivered on the day of your session will not be accepted without prior agreement of your local contact.
