Le 15 novembre 2024
Le 15/11/2024
de 23h00 à 23h59

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:  

_____________________________________________________________
PERIOD:
Herewith we call for proposals for the beam time period I-25 between 01 May – 31 August 2025.

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.
