Is Diamond a profit-making organisation?
No. Diamond is largely funded by the UK Government and exists to provide research facilities to the UK’s academic community. Once academic users have had their beamtime proposal accepted by an external body of scientific advisors, they can access the facility without having to pay. A small percentage (10%) of Diamond’s beamtime is available for industry to make use of, and industrial users pay a fee for using the facility.
