Injection system The injection system consists of the synchrotron's electron gun and linear accelerator. It produces, bunches and accelerates electrons to an energy level of 100 MeV.

Optics hutch Each beamline's optics hutch receives synchrotron light from the front end. These rooms contain many optical devices, such as mirrors and filters, to focus the incoming light beam.

Front ends The front end connects the storage ring at an angle to the optics hutch of each beamline. It passes through the storage ring's shield wall, allowing the synchrotron light to pass.

Storage ring Once the generated electrons have reached the desired extraction energy of three GeV, they are streamed into the storage ring. This large ring holds and bends the electrons around a 560-meter vacuum circuit.

Booster synchrotron Electrons leave the linear accelerator and are injected into the booster synchrotron. This is responsible for accelerating the electrons up to a higher energy level.

Diamond Light Source

Control cabin This is the final hutch of each beamline and is where the scientific teams monitor and control their experiments and equipment.

Diagnostic center The synchrotron's operation is controlled and monitored from a central control room. Despite many systems being automated, the room is permanently staffed in case of serious error.

Beamlines Stemming off from the storage ring are the beamlines. These are the parts of the facility into which synchrotron light is filtered. Insertion devices (IDs) are positioned before each beamline to generate the light.

Experimental hutch Experimental equipment is housed in the second hutch of each beamline. A sample is placed on a rotating arm and a beam of light is targeted on the sample. Detectors surrounding the arm analyze the data given by the sample.
