<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-GB" style="">Dear Colleague,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-GB" style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-GB" style="">We are pleased to announce the present call for proposals within the MLZ Rapid Access programme for the following three instruments</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-GB" style="">•<span style="">
</span>the small angle scattering instrument KWS-2</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-GB" style="">•<span style="">
</span>the analytic facility for prompt-gamma-activation analysis PGAA</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-GB" style="">•<span style="">
</span>the high resolution powder diffractometer SPODI</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-GB" style="">By a fast response process we will allocate, on each instrument, up to a maximum of three beam days per reactor cycle. Each accepted proposal can receive
up to a maximum of 12 hours of beam time.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-GB" style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-GB" style="">The MLZ Rapid Access programme is devoted to those measurements, which do not fit into the normal proposal workflow with usually two deadlines and reviews
per year, such as, for example, for tuning the preparation process or few samples to complete a series of sample measurements previously done.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-GB" style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-GB" style="">In case a Rapid Access proposal is accepted, the user will send the samples to the designated local contact that carries out the proposed experiment and
will take care of the sample handling/shipment back to the user.<span style="">
</span>Due to the short duration of the measurements a high degree of standardisation is required and the usage of a complicated sample environment is excluded. It is expected that the measurements will be performed at Standard Ambient Temperature and Pressure
(SATP) conditions by using a standard sample holder provided by the local contact. However, upon agreement with the local contact, the use of some simple sample environment equipment can be considered. The main proposer will be provided with the raw experimental
data as well as pre-treated data for further analysis.</span></p>
