SLS/SINQ - 2014 call for joint X + N powder diffraction proposals

The synchrotron (SLS) and neutron (SINQ) facilities at the Paul Scherrer Institut PSI are launching the 6^th JOINT proposal round with the aim to promote and facilitate the complementary use of X-rays and neutrons.

The proposal submission deadine for this round will be FEBRUARY 20, 2014, 23:59 (CET).

The joint X-rays + neutrons proposal round concerns proposals for powder diffraction experiments in the fields of condensed matter, crystallography, chemistry, magnetism etc, for which the use of both synchrotron X-ray AND neutron diffraction is required and adequately justified.

The X-ray and neutron diffraction instruments involved are:

• the powder diffraction station of the Materials Sciences beamline (X04SA) at SLS: http://www.psi.ch/sls/ms
• the HRPT high resolution neutron powder diffractometer at SINQ: http://www.psi.ch/sinq/hrpt

The beamtime allocation will be from July to December 2014.

Applications should be submitted solely through the PSI Digital User Office: https://duo.psi.ch
When logged into your account with DUO, select the link “Submit a new proposal” from the “Proposals” panel, and then choose “Joint neutron – X-rays powder diffraction (SINQ and SLS)” from the popup menu.
In the “General” part, when choosing the instrument, please select “Joint-MS-HRPT” as an instrument.
Further, just follow the instructions for the regular proposal submission.

The PSI is looking forward to your applications within this special submission channel.
