After peer review, 719 proposals were awarded beamtime. This resulted in 6,983 experimental shifts being awarded across 33 beamlines and the six electron microscopes delivering time to academic users. Throughout April and May 2021, the weekly operating hours continued to be limited to four days due to the pandemic; there was less experimental time available and the user programme was adjusted as a result. We also experienced a reduction in the number of proposal submissions due to the pandemic. However, from June 2021 we reverted back to our usual six day operation and across the full year we welcomed 2,460 onsite user visits from academia across all instruments, with an additional 4,253 remote user visits. The machine continues to perform to the highest standard with 97.4% uptime and 107.9 hours mean time between failures (MTBF). 10 11 D I A M O N D L I G H T S O U R C E A N N U A L R E V I E W 2 0 2 1 / 2 2 D I A M O N D L I G H T S O U R C E A N N U A L R E V I E W 2 0 2 1 / 2 2 0.00 200.00 400.00 600.00 800.00 1,000.00 1,200.00 1,400.00 1,600.00 1,800.00 B24 eBIC B21 B22 I22 B23 DL-SAXS I03 I04 I04-1 I23 I24 Xchem I11 I15 I15-1 I19 I06 I10 I16 I21 I05 B07 I07 I09 B18 I18 I20-Scanning I20-EDE ePSIC I08 I08-1 DIAD I12 I13-1 I13-2 I14 B16* 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 (April) .0 2, . 4, . 6, . 8, . 0, . 12,000.0 14,000.0 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20 2020/21 2021/22 5,000.00 10,000.00 15,000.00 20,000.00 25,000.00 30,000.00 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20 2020/21 2021/22 11,652 1, 601 12,150 Soft Condensed Matter Group Macromolecular Crystallography Group Magnetic Materials Group Stuctures and Surfaces Group Biological Cryo- Imaging Group Crystallography Group Spectroscopy Group Imaging and Microscopy Group * Staff visits are now included for academic access routes, in house research is still excluded Machine performance 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20 2020/21 2021/22 Total no. operational beamlines by end FY 19 20 22 24 25 26 28 31 32 32 33 33 Scheduled hours of machine operation 5808 6000 5832 5976 5808 5928 5688 6072 5904 5913 4345* 5396* Scheduled hours of user operation 4728 5064 4872 5088 4944 5040 4584 5160 4992 4992 3445* 4532* Machine uptime % 97.5 97.7 98.3 98.2 97.6 97.6 98.7 98.2 98.4 98.1 96.2 97.4 Mean time between failures (hours) 28.5 55.4 52.4 60.3 38.6 119.4 103.1 79.9 90.3 104.7 132 107.9 * hours reduced due to COVID * Not all proposals are attached to a science area.
