Dear Colleague,
We are happy to announce that a new application has been developed on
the ILL Visitors Club, for granting quick and easy access to ILL
beamtime. The Easy Access System (EASY) will grant diffraction beamtime
to scientists from ILL member countries, who need a rapid structural
characterisation of samples and data analysis. Access will be open all
year long, and it will not be necessary to go through the ILL standard
proposal round and consequent peer review system.
The system – already operational in other neutron scattering facilities
such as ISIS – will offer one neutron day per cycle, on four instruments
(D1A, D2B, VIVALDI and ORIENTEXPRESS) to perform very short experiments
(a maximum of 4h per cycle) at room temperature. The users will not be
invited to the ILL, but will send their samples to one of two designated
ILL scientists (one for powder and one for single-crystal experiments),
who will be responsible for the measurements and sample radiological
control. The ILL will ship back the sample once the measurement is
finished.
You can apply for EASY beam time on club.ill.fr now! *Not only regular
ILL users but also new users are strongly encouraged to apply*.
