Key Facts and Figures

Facility usage
In our ninth year of operations (April 2015 to end of March 2016), we received 1,444 proposals for experiments on beamlines and electron microscopes, which requested a total of 16,376 shifts. After peer-review, 1,026 proposals were awarded beamtime. This resulted in 9,091 experimental shifts being awarded, spread across 26 beamlines and two electron microscopes. We welcomed 5,472 user visits from academia and industry across all facilities (beamlines and electron microscopes), with an additional 3,772 remote users.
