the next DEADLINE for the submission of beam time requests for the Swiss spallation neutron source SINQ will be:
********* 15 May 2026, midnight, C.E.S.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, SANS-LLB
- Reflectometer: AMOR
- Triple-Axis Spectrometers: TASP, EIGER
- Multiplexing Spectrometer: CAMEA
- Time-of-Flight Spectrometer: FOCUS
- Neutron Imaging Instruments: ICON, NEUTRA
PLEASE NOTE:
- As a new feature we do accept long term proposals for main proposers with Swiss affiliation (except PSI) for a duration of two cycles.
- If you intend to submit proposals for experiments requiring gas infrastructure on the thermal neutron radiography station NEUTRA or for all experiments on the new small angle scattering facility SANS-LLB, it is expected to contact the respective instrument team first.
- The instruments POLDI and BOA will not be available in cycle II-26.
_____________________________________________________________
PERIOD:
Herewith we call for proposals for the beam time period II-26 between 01 October – 23 December 2026.

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:
- http://www.psi.ch/sinq/access-to-sinq
- http://www.psi.ch/sinq/call-for-proposals
- http://www.psi.ch/sinq/guidelines
Further detailed information about the SINQ instruments can be obtained here : http://www.psi.ch/sinq/instrumentation
The feasibility of complex experiments should always be discussed in advance with the instrument and sample environment scientists.
