[Neutron] CALL FOR PROPOSALS AT LANSCE'S LUJAN CENTER

[Sandra Chance]

There are two major changes to the LANSCE proposal process beginning in 2003:

1)  Only web-based proposal submissions will be accepted.  Any other forms 
will be returned to the PI. (Classified proposals are the only exception 
and require hard copy submission.)

2)  LANSCE will issue two proposal calls starting in 2003.  This first call 
is for beam time to be scheduled ~June 30-November 2.  A second call will 
be issued in June for the later part of the run cycle (~November 2-late 
January 2004).  Do NOT submit proposals if you will not be able to accept 
beam time in the first part of the run cycle.  Proposals will NOT be 
carried over to the next round.

LANSCE is issuing a Call for Proposals for experiments to be carried out at 
the Lujan Center during the 2003 run cycle ~June 30-November 2, 
2003.  Proposals are being accepted on the following instruments:

Asterix (polarized neutron beam)
Filter Difference Spectrometer (FDS)
High-Pressure Preferred Orientation Diffractometer (HIPPO)
Low-Q Diffractometer (LQD)
Neutron Powder Diffractometer (NPDF)
Protein Crystallography Station (PCS)
High-Resolution Chopper Spectrometer (Pharos)
Spectrometer for Materials Research at Temperature and Stress (SMARTS)
Surface Profile Analysis Reflectometer (SPEAR)

Proposals will be accepted for the following instruments, although 
available beam time and user support will be very limited:

Single Crystal Diffractometer (SCD)
Transmission Spectroscopy (Flight Path 5)

The web-based proposal submission site, important information, and 
deadlines are on the web at 
http://lansce.lanl.gov/users/proposals/index_prop.htm or contact the User 
Office at lansce_users at lanl.gov or 505-665-1010.

Proposals are due March 24, 2003 BY 8:00AM MST. Proposals received after 
the due date will be deferred to the second round.

We look forward to seeing you at LANSCE in 2003.
