The next DEADLINE for the submission of beam time requests for the Swiss<br class="">
spallation neutron source 'SINQ' <a href="http://www.psi.ch/sinq" class="">http://www.psi.ch/sinq</a> will be:<br class="">
<br class="">
<b class="">********* May 20, 2015, midnight *********</b><br class="">
<br class="">
_____________________________________________________________<br class="">
<b class="">PERIOD:</b><br class="">
Herewith we call for proposals for the beam time period II/16 between<br class="">
01/09/2016 and 23/12/2016.<br class="">
<br class="">
_____________________________________________________________<br class="">
<b class="">PROPOSAL-SUBMISSION:</b><br class="">
<i class="">New users are kindly asked to contact the instrument responsibles <br class="">
before submitting a proposal to discuss instrumental options and <br class="">
reasonable beam time requests. </i><br class="">
Please make use of the option to link related previous proposals with their <br class="">
experimental reports to the new one. A proper mention of previous results<br class="">
will provide a certain 'bonus' during the evaluation process. This new feature replaces<br class="">
the previous option to submit 'continuation proposals'.<br class="">
<br class="">
Guidelines for the proposal submission and further useful information can be<br class="">
found on the SINQ webpages:<br class="">

<b class="">INSTRUMENTS:</b><br class="">
The following instruments will be open for new proposals in cycle II/16:<br class="">
<br class="">
Powder Diffractometers : HRPT, DMC<br class="">
Single Crystal Diffractometer : ZEBRA (formely TRICS)<br class="">
Strain Scanner : POLDI<br class="">
Small Angle Scattering : SANS-I, SANS-II<br class="">
Reflectometer : AMOR<br class="">
Triple Axis Spectrometers : TASP, RITA-II, EIGER<br class="">
Time-of-Flight Spectrometer : FOCUS<br class="">
Radiography, Imaging : NEUTRA, ICON<br class="">
<br class="">
Further detailed information about the SINQ instruments can be obtained here:<br class="">
http://www.psi.ch/sinq/instrumentation<br class="">
<br class="">
<i class="">The feasibility of complex experiments should always be discussed<br class="">
in advance with the instrument and sample environment responsibles.</i><br class="">
<br class="">
<b class="">Please note:</b><br class="">
<i class="">The high pressure Paris-Edinburgh Press sample environment option at SINQ is
<br class="">
fully available again and we can offer also low temperature experiments using <br class="">
the that device. The best operational range of the cell is 7K, 6GPa and 300K, 9GPa.</i><br class="">
