the next DEADLINE for the submission of beam time requests for the Swiss spallation neutron source SINQ will be:
********* 15 November 2024, midnight, C.E.T. *********
This call is open for the following instruments:
Powder Diffractometer: HRPT
Single Crystal Diffractometer: ZEBRA
Powder and Single Crystal Diffractometer: DMC
Small Angle Neutron Scattering: SANS-I
Reflectometer: AMOR
Triple-Axis Spectrometers: TASP, EIGER
Multiplexing Spectrometer: CAMEA
Time-of-Flight Spectrometer: FOCUS
Neutron Imaging Instrument: ICON
PLEASE NOTE:
The instruments POLDI, BOA and NEUTRA will not be available in cycle I-25 because of dedicated upgrade programs. The new small angle scattering facility SANS-LLB that is presently being installed in collaboration with our French partners from LLB might take some friendly users in I-25. Please contact the instrument team for further information:

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:

The feasibility of complex experiments should always be discussed in advance with the instrument and sample environment scientists.
