I11 – High Resolution Powder Diffraction
Overview
I11 provides high-resolution and time-resolved powder diffraction for materials science, chemistry and pharmaceutical research. Long-duration experiments can run on the dedicated LDE facility.

Measuring d-spacings
Peak positions are converted to d-spacings using [math]d = \frac{\lambda}{2\sin\theta}[/math]. Multi-analyser crystal detectors give the very high angular resolution needed to separate overlapping peaks.

Safety induction for visiting users
All visiting users must complete the online safety induction before arriving at Diamond. The induction covers radiation safety, the experimental hall rules and what to do in an emergency.
- Complete the induction in the User Administration System (UAS) at least 48 hours before your visit.
- Bring photo ID; your site pass is issued at reception.
- Read the experimental hall safety rules and your beamline's local rules.
