Dear High Pressure Crystallography Colleagues

*** You may have also received this through other routes - apologies for 
multiple postings ***

The Diamond synchrotron in the UK is planning to upgrade to the 
Diamond-II low-emittance machine.

As part of this, there is a bid to build a new high-pressure 
crystallography beamline called NExCUBe - see attachment. This will 
replace the current I15 and be entirely complementary to I19.

NExCUBe will have beam diameters of 30, 1 and 0.3 microns, and will be 
optimised to work at 30 keV. It will be ideal for ultra-high and 
mid-pressure work, as well as ambient P crystallography from micro-crystals.

We need as many statements of support as possible for this project, 
particularly from those not in UK forĀ  whom such a beamline would 
attract them to Diamond-II.

Your statement of support can be submitted at:

https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=dLonnQABDU2B_x1yja6N9sORn9fQKRxBrdwp3-jvXxFURTZRTU9VM1I2VVZEVEVFS1hJTlNHUThISi4u 


Note, NExCUBe is the 2nd option - "Crystallography - New nanofocus 
extreme conditions undulator beamline (NExCUBe)"

The deadline for submitting statements of support is TOMORROW (20th 
November)

Many thanks in advance for your support.

Malcolm
