beamtime application proposal. It is possible to propose a number of
projects within the proposal lifetime of one year. BESSY provides PX
beamtime at the PX-beamlines 14.1 and 14.2. The requested beamtime is
granted based on the reviewed proposal and reports from previous
research activities at BESSY.

---------------------------
Tunable energy range: 5.0 - 16.5 KeV (2.4A - 0.75A)
Photon-flux: 1.6-1.9x1011 Phot/s/100mA (13 keV, 2eV energy resolution,
200x200µm focal spot)
Exposure times: 3-20 sec (for crystals of 20µm edge length onwards)
Detectors: BL14.1 MARMOSAIC-225mm, BL14.2 MARCCD-165mm
Average data collection time: 20min (100 frames, 10sec exposure)
Crystal centering: Remote click centering
Cryogenics: Oxford Instruments Cryojet XL with full Spine-pin compatibility
Software: CCP4, MOSFLM, XDS, HKL2000, COOT, SHELX-package, XPREP,
HKL2MAP, SOLVE/RESOLVE and others

The following additional features are available for applicants with
granted beamtime:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fast beamtime scheduling:
We can normally schedule requested beamtime within 2 weeks or sometimes
faster. Starting in Fall 2006, a newly available calendar tool will be
added to the user interface for all beamtime bookings.
* Optimal traveling & accomodation possibilities:
BESSY is located in the south-eastern part of Berlin, 10 min away from
the international airport Schoenefeld and 1 h from the international
airport Tegel and can easily be reached by public transport connections.
The BESSY-guesthouse and nearby hotels provide onsite accomodation
within 5 min walking distance from the beamlines. A commute to the
center of Berlin takes 20 min. A newly available freeway exit at BESSY
provides access if traveling by car.
* Financial support for EU users and users from German universities:
EU users as well as users from German universities can apply for
financial support for carrying out the experiments at BESSY, including
travel and accommodation.
* High profile user support at the beamline:
The PX-beamline users are supported by our experienced scientists, who
will assist you during experimental setup, edge-scans, setup of
data-evaluation and -backup as well as with all radiation and lab
security issues. Cell-phone user support during after-work hours can be
arranged. 24h technical support in case of failure / malfunctions of the
hardware systems is available via cell-phone.
To apply for beamtime, please visit our webpage and follow the
instructions. In case of any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
