<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Biological Scattering Users,<br><br></div>I am sending this out to make you aware this program during 2018A HFIR proposal call <span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)"><b>(due Oct 11)</b></span><br clear="all"><div><div><p><strong>SAXS and SANS Joint Access Pilot Program</strong></p><p>A
pilot program for joint access to SAXS and SANS has been established
between the Bio-SANS beam line at HFIR and the state-of-art LiX beam
line at NSLS-II.</p><p>The users still submit beam time applications
through existing regular proposal mechanisms with either facility (PASS
system at BNL; IPTS system at ORNL). In the proposal system, the user
needs to choose the additional facility desired to access and to justify
the request for the other facility explicitly in the proposal text. In
particular, they would address the necessity of using the other kind of
probe.</p><p>Proposals may be accepted at one facility and declined for
the other facility. Only proposals approved at both facilities are
eligible for the pilot joint access program. Beam line scientists from
both beam lines will coordinate with users for beam time allocation and
beam line access.</p><p>For more information on the program, please contact Bio-SANS beam line scientist Shuo Qian (<a href="mailto:qians@ornl.gov">qians@ornl.gov</a>). <br></p><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>Shuo Qian, Ph.D.<br>Staff Scientist<br>Center for Structural Molecular Biology<br>Neutron Scattering Division<br>Postal Address:<br>ORNL<br>PO BOX 2008 MS6430<br>OAK RIDGE TN 37831-6430<br><br></div>
