15/5/2023 : SINQ - Call for Proposals
The next DEADLINE for the submission of beam time requests for the Swiss spallation neutron source SINQ will be:
May 15, 2023, midnight, C.E.S.T.
This call is open for the following instruments:
| Powder Diffractometer: HRPT,DMC Single Crystal Diffractometer : ZEBRA Strain Scanner: POLDI Small Angle Neutron Scattering: SANS-I |
Triple-Axis Spectrometers: TASP, EIGER Multiplexing Spectrometer: CAMEA Time-of-Flight Spectrometer: FOCUS Instruments for Neutron Imaging and Optics: NEUTRA, ICON, BOA |
Please note:
The reflectometer AMOR has undergone a major upgrade and will enter the respective commissioning phase in spring. Therefore new AMOR proposals must be discussed in advance (before the submission) with the instrument scientists..
The new small angle scattering facility SANS-LLB that is presently being installed in collaboration with our French partners from LLB both might take some friendly users during cycle II-23. Please contact the instrument team for further information.
The Neutron Microscope can be chosen as experimental setup option on POLDI, ICON and BOA.
PERIOD: bbHerewith we call for proposals for the beam time period II-23 between September and December 2023. We aim to inform the users in July 2023 about the results of the proposal evaluation.
_____________________________________________________________
PROPOSAL-SUBMISSION: New users are kindly asked to contact the instrument scientists before submitting a proposal to discuss instrumental options and reasonable beam time requests.
Please make use of the option to link related previous proposals with their experimental reports to the new one. A proper mention of previous results will provide a certain 'bonus' during the evaluation process.
Guidelines for the proposal submission and further useful information can be found on the SINQ webpages:

Further detailed information about the SINQ instruments.
The feasibility of complex experiments should always be discussed in advance with the instrument and sample environment scientists.
