Submission:
===========
All submissions will be handled by the SLS Digital Users
Office (DUO).
Notes:
======
a) The IR beamline has first light, but is not yet in a
condition to receive general users. A first set of
pilot proposals has been selected out of the last
call for proposals. Users interested in doing
experiments or assisting with the commissioning
are requested to contact the beamline manager
Philippe Lerch ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
b) VUV, a beamline for vacuum ultraviolet radiation
is now starting up and accepting first expert users
(pilot proposals).
Users are asked to adhere to the following rules:
Users who are interested to perform an experiment at
the new beamline:
i) first contact the beamline manager
Melanie Johnson ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
ii) submit the proposal with type 'Pilot'.
c) SuperXAS, a beamline for chemistry, environmental
sciences is now starting up and accepting first
expert users (pilot proposals).
Users are asked to adhere to the following rules:
Users who are interested to perform an experiment at
the new beamline:
i) first contact the beamline manager
Maarten Nachtegaal ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
ii) submit the proposal with type 'Pilot'.
d) Proposals involving the FEMTO slicing facility or the
laser system for time-resolved measurements in the
picosecond regime should be discussed with the
group leader Gerhard Ingold ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
or the head of laboratory LSYI Rafael Abela
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) prior to submission.
e) For the proposal evaluation by the Proposal Review
Committee, DUO Experimental Reports on previous
experiments represent a very important input, and
a missing experimental report may seriously affect
the chances of acceptance. Proposers are asked to
supply a separate experimental report for each
experiment performed. Note that now also a co-proposer
can input an experimental report.
f) The SLS is part of the EU I3 initiative and we will
be able to provide travel and accommodation support.
Proposers interested in this support are asked to mark
the corresponding box in the proposal. For further
details please go to:
