Key Facts and Figures

In our twelfth year of operations (1^st April 2018 to 31^st March 2019), we received 1,788 proposals for experiments on our instruments via peer reviewed access routes, requesting a total of 22,117 shifts. After peer review, 1,191 proposals were awarded beamtime. This resulted in 12,497 experimental shifts being awarded across 30 beamlines and eight electron microscopes. We welcomed 6,332 onsite user visits from academia across all instruments, with an additional 4,459 remote user visits.

 

In the past 12 months, Diamond has continued to review its reporting method on facility usage. Our new reporting tool is continuously being developed and improved and allows us to report more precisely and more consistently. As a result, some of the reporting criteria and results in this review have evolved compared to previous years.
