The next DEADLINE for the submission of beam time requests for the Swiss spallation neutron source SINQ will be:
********* 01 July 2024, midnight, C.E.S.T. *********
The call is open for the following instruments:*
Powder Diffractometer |
HRPT |
Single Crystal Diffractometer |
ZEBRA |
Powder and Single Crystal Diffr |
DMC |
Small Angle Neutron Scattering |
SANS-I |
Reflectometer |
AMOR |
Triple-Axis Spectrometers | TASP, EIGER |
Multiplexing Spectrometer | CAMEA |
Time-of-Flight Spectrometer | FOCUS |
Strain Scanner | POLDI |
Instruments for Neutron Imaging and Optics | NEUTRA, ICON, BOA |
* PLEASE NOTE:
- The reflectometer AMOR has recently undergone a major upgrade. Therefore new 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 might take some friendly users later this year. Please contact the instrument team for further information:
- The Neutron Microscope can be chosen as experimental setup option on POLDI, ICON and BOA.
_____________________________________________________________
PERIOD:
Herewith we call for proposals for the beam time period II-24 between 16 October – 23 December 2024. Another proposal deadline is envisaged for 15 November 2024 to cover the beam time period May – 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.
