Requesting beamtime

This option is the most suitable way of booking beamtime if you are expecting smaller sample volume/throughput or if you are not sure when you will have your samples ready for data collection.

Please contact the Industrial Liaison MX Team as soon as possible before your samples are ready. You will need to provide the following information:

• Which mode of access you wish to book – UDC, remote, or mail-in
• How many pucks (Unipucks) you plan to send (UDC and mail-in access) or how many hours of beamtime you will need (remote access)
• When the samples can be delivered to Diamond

Beamtime will be scheduled, or data collected, at the first available opportunity, subject to beamline availability. We will get back to you upon your request to confirm what is feasible.

If you would like to request larger beamtime slots, you are expecting larger sample volumes or require frequent access, you can reserve slots in specific weeks within a 6-month allocation period (April-September or October-March).

Please contact the Industrial Liaison MX Team and provide the following information:

• Which mode of access you wish to book – UDC, remote, or mail-in
• How many pucks (Unipucks) you plan to send (UDC and mail-in access) or how many hours of beamtime you will need (remote access)
• Indicate in which week(s) you would like beamtime to be booked

We will get back to you with what is feasible, and beamtime will be awarded at the first opportunity, subject to availability.

PLEASE NOTE! A 2-week cancellation policy applies for cancellation or reduction of this type of beamtime request.
