Next MX-proposal application deadline: March 1, 2015 is approaching BAG proposal applications are now possible Single 8h-shift beamtime bookings are now possible
We kindly invite new MX-proposals for beamtime applications for the next beamtime period. In order to apply for beamtime, please register at the HZB on-line access tool "GATE" (https://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/pubbin/hzbgate) and submit a new beamtime application proposal. Please note: BL14.2 experimental station receives within the first month of 2015 a complete upgrade (See new BL14.2 setup) HZB provides beamtime at the MX-beamlines 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3. The requested beamtime is granted based on the reviewed proposal and reports from previous research activities. Reported results from previous beamtimes stated in the "Experimental Reports" form will affect the chances for future beamtimes significantly. Please make sure to include them if available.
