In 2009-10 has developed OPALS proposal -- could constitute a very high peak<br />
brightness s<strong>of</strong>t x-rays facility that could be operated flexibly to respond quickly to<br />
new ideas <strong>and</strong> opportunities in the field.<br />
The L-P r&d may be a larger opportunity for the JAI <strong>and</strong> for the entire UK acc.<br />
science community with high potential for engagement <strong>of</strong> UK industry<br />
