54 55 Our Long Duration Experiment facility on beamline I11 is unique in the world. Here we offer the opportunity to run experiments which require weeks to months of periodically monitoring “slow” changes. The facility benefits research areas such as studies of crystallisation, gas storage, mineral evolution, seasonal effects, thermal and electrical power cycling and corrosion science.
