Diamond Light Source

Diamond is the new 3rd generation UK synchrotron facility being built on the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory site in South Oxfordshire. This 3GeV machine is due to come on line for users in 2007. Currently three beamlines dedicated to macromolecular crystallography have been approved as 'Year 1 beamlines'. The plans for these beamlines along with an outline of the machine and its progress in construction will be presented.
Additionally there are plans for further beamlines in the area of Life Science as part Phase 2.
Thus Diamond presents a healthy and exciting opportunity for future synchrotron research in the Life Sciences.
