    Call for Proposals

J-PARC Center and CROSS-Tokai <http://www.cross-tokai.jp/en/> are 
pleased to announce the Call for General Use Proposals to access the 
neutron and muon beamlines at the Materials and Life Science 
Experimental Facility of J-PARC in the 2014A operations period.

*2014A Operations Period : April 2014 - November 2014
Expected Proton Beam Power : 300 kW*

*Proposal Submission Deadline : 17:00 (JST) Thursday 7 November 2013*

Users wishing to conduct experiments at any of the MLF neutron or muon 
beamlines during 2014A should submit proposals via the web-based J-PARC 
Proposal Submission System <https://jpms.j-parc.jp/j-pas/>. Proposal 
submissions for 2014A will be accepted from 17 October 2013 until the

    What's new in 2014A


      Change to the Proposal Submission System

Starting in the 2014A proposal round, applicants will be asked to 
indicate if their research proposal has affinity with the Japanese 
national research priority areas as identified in the *Elements Strategy 
Initiative*. The applicants will also be asked to indicate if the 
proposed research includes, or is likely to include in the future, the 
use of other major research facilities. Such *complementary use* 
includes the use of other quantum beam facilities (SPring-8 etc.) and 
next generation supercomputer ("K" etc.).
Please be sure to mark the appropriate checkbox in the submission system.
