This is an enabling grant that will support a wide range of researchers and fields of research across the engineering and physical sciences (EPS) remit through the upgrade of existing multi-user equipment. Three investment packages have been prioritised that support core EPS research capabilities:1. State-of-the-art open-access liquid chromatography-mass spectrometerThis investment will replace an aging 12 year old system with up-to-date equipment designed to offer robust and precise analysis of small and large molecules. It will enable new analytical capabilities, increase throughput, and faster data management and processing.2. Next generation electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometer upgradeBased in the Centre for Advanced Electron Spin Resonance (CAESR), the spectrometer upgrade will support multi-disciplinary research focused around ESR. The upgrade will form part of Oxford's contribution to the EPSRC National Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Facility, and be the second spectrometer in the UK to have the routine capability to perform pulse shaping at W- band.3. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) systemThe UPS is a cutting edge technique that is indispensable for advanced materials research and will be used to study the surfaces of the thin film samples. It will be an integrated into the EPSRC National Thin-Film Cluster Facility for Advanced Functional Materials.Each piece of equipment is based in a multi-user facility that is open to all potential users. Enhanced capacity and capabilities of these facilities will support promoting a culture of collaboration and equipment sharing across multiple research areas.

这是一项支持赠款，它将通过升级现有的多用户设备的升级来支持整个工程和物理科学（EPS）的广泛研究人员和研究领域。已经优先考虑了三个投资方案，以支持核心EPS研究能力：1。最先进的开放式液态色谱 - 质谱仪这项投资将用最新设备取代12岁的老年系统，旨在提供对小分子和大型分子的稳健和精确分析。它将实现新的分析功能，增加吞吐量，并更快的数据管理和处理。2。下一代电子自旋共振（ESR）光谱仪升级基于高级电子自旋共振中心（CAESR），光谱仪升级将支持围绕ESR的多学科研究。升级将成为牛津对EPSRC国家电子顺磁共振设施的贡献的一部分，并成为英国第二个光谱仪具有常规能力，可以在W- Band.3上执行脉冲成型3。紫外光谱光谱（UPS）系统UPS是一种最先进的技术，对于高级材料研究是必不可少的，将用于研究薄膜样品的表面。它将集成到EPSRC国家薄膜群集设施中，用于先进的功能材料。每个设备都基于所有潜在用户开放的多用户设施。这些设施的增强能力和能力将支持促进多个研究领域的协作和设备共享文化。
