[Neutron] CALL FOR PROPOSALS

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Studsvik Neutron Research Laboratory (NFL)

EU funded Access to Research Infrastructures Programme

NFL is the Swedish Centre for reactor based research using neutrons in 
physics, chemistry and materials science. Under our Access to Research 
Infrastructures contract a total of 105 days of beam time is available per 
year for users from EU countries and associated states, supporting the cost 
of the beam time, travel and subsistence. We expect that the EU sponsored 
access will continue in 2004 under FP6 with broadly similar arrangement to 
the current scheme.

The deadlines for proposals are 15 September, 15 January and 15 May. 
Accepted proposals can usually be scheduled quickly. Proposals arriving 
after the deadline will still be processed but we can not guarantee quick 
access.
A panel of international experts referees proposals, mainly by E-mail/FAX. 
We recommend that you discuss your proposals with NFL instrument scientists 
before submission. You are also given the opportunity to make 
modifications, if necessary, on the basis of the comments of the referee 
panel. Depending on the final results of the refereeing process, and 
confirmation from Brussels that you are eligible for support under the 
programme, your experiment can then be scheduled. The time between proposal 
and experiment can be as short as a few weeks. We hope that this will make 
it easier for you to carry out your research programs.

It is also possible to apply for training of new students, or training in 
new techniques. In this case the proposal does not have to be linked to a 
specific experiment - in some cases it is more effective to use a 'model' 
experiment for training purposes.

Five instruments are scheduled:
REST            Diffractometer for residual stress and texture measurements
NPD             High resolution powder diffractometer
SLAD            Disordered materials diffractometer (liquids, glasses,
                 crystals)
SXD             Single crystal diffractometer
OSIRIS  Radioactive ion source and on-line isotope separator

Proposal forms, contact information and instrument details are available
