The first session of 2014's Selection Committees at the Laboratoire Leon Brillouin (LLB, CEA-Saclay, France) for neutron diffraction experiments to be performed end of 2014 will take place soon. The deadline for submission of proposals for beam time allocation on the spectrometers installed around the ORPHEE reactor is the 1st of April 2014.

Be careful, this an unusual date, changed in order to be able to offer more beam time to users during the shutdown of the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL).

You will find all the necessary information’s on this call on the LLB webpage .
