<div>_____________________________________________________________</div>
<div><b>PERIOD:</b></div>
<div>Herewith we call for proposals for the beam time period I/17 between</div>

</div>
<div>_____________________________________________________________</div>
<div><b>PROPOSAL-SUBMISSION:</b></div>
<div>New users are kindly asked to contact the instrument responsibles</div>
<div>before submitting a proposal to discuss instrumental options and</div>
<div>reasonable beam time requests.</div>
<div>Please make use of the option to link related previous proposals with their</div>
<div>experimental reports to the new one. A proper mention of previous results</div>
<div>will provide a certain 'bonus' during the evaluation process. This new feature replaces</div>
<div>the previous option to submit 'continuation proposals'.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Guidelines for the proposal submission and further useful information can be</div>

</div>
<div>Further detailed information about the SINQ instruments can be obtained here:</div>
<div>http://www.psi.ch/sinq/instrumentation</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>The feasibility of complex experiments should always be discussed</i></div>
<div><i>in advance with the instrument and sample environment responsibles.</i></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>(*) Please note:</i></div>
<div>The new 'Neutron Microscope' is a high spatial resolution (5 micrometers) neutron </div>
<div>imaging instrument now available for users at SINQ. It is designed as a self-contained instrument </div>
<div>that can be transferred between different beamlines. From now on it is available for the </div>
<div>user community at POLDI and ICON. <span style="font-size: 10pt;">More information: http://www.psi.ch/sinq/MediaBoard/n-microscope.pdf</span></div>
<div>For the beamtime application please choose 'Neutron Microscope' as instrument and later on select </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">either POLDI or ICON as preferred instrument to perform the experiment. </span></div>
