DLSITT1101 - K14 SWIFT Beamline Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) Mirrors System for Diamond Light Soure

Design, manufacture and install a pair of Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors (horizontal and vertical focusing) and their positioning system for the K14 SWIFT beamline at Diamond Light Source's Harwell facility. The mirrors will focus X-ray beam onto samples in the second end-station.

You'll want to look if you can design and build precision grazing-incidence mirror systems for synchrotron beamlines, with experience of Kirkpatrick-Baez optics, mechanical positioning, and thermal management at cryogenic temperatures.

INSTRUMENT DESIGN TECHNOLOGY LIMITED won the related K14 SWIFT M1 and M2 mirror systems contract in December 2025. Inferred from prior awards to this buyer, not confirmed.
