[Neutron] SPECIAL JOINT SINQ/SLS PROPOSALS ROUND: POWDER DIFFRACTION

[SINQ]

    -- SPECIAL JOINT SINQ/SLS PROPOSALS ROUND --
             --- FOR POWDER DIFFRACTION ---

The synchrotron (SLS) and neutron (SINQ) facilities at
Paul Scherrer Institute are launching the new
JOINT proposals round, whose aim is to promote and
facilitate the complementary use of X-rays and neutrons.

The proposal submission deadine for this first round will be

          **** February 29, 2008, midnight ****

The first joint X-rays + neutrons proposal round concerns
the 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 in
this first joint X-rays + neutrons proposal round are:
- the powder diffraction station of
    the Materials Sciences beamline at SLS and
- HRPT high resolution neutron powder diffractometer at SINQ.

The beamtime allocation will take place between
May and December, 2008.

Applications should be submitted through the
PSI Digital User Office web-page: https://duo.psi.ch/duo/
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.

We are looking forward for your applications within
this new joint proposal submission channel.

For further questions, please send e-mails to
slsuo at psi.ch or sinq at psi.ch
