                *********     PLEASE REMEMBER:      *********

The next DEADLINE for the submission of beam time requests for the Swiss
spallation neutron source 'SINQ' (http://sinq.web.psi.ch) will be:

                *********  May 15, 2008, midnight   *********

PERIOD:
-------
Herewith we call for proposals for the beam time period II/08 between
01/09/2008 and 23/12/2008 and from then onwards (long-term proposals).


PROPOSAL-SUBMISSION:
--------------------
You are invited to submit either long-term or short-term proposals.
New users are kindly asked to contact the instrument responsibles before
submitting a proposal to discuss instrumental options and reasonable
beam time requests. Guidelines for the proposal submission and  
further useful
information can be found on the SINQ webpages:
http://sinq.web.psi.ch/sinq/access.html
http://sinq.web.psi.ch/sinq/sinq_call.html


INSTRUMENTS:
------------
Detailed information about the SINQ instruments can be obtained here:
http://sinq.web.psi.ch/sinq/instruments.html

Please note, the feasibility of complex experiments should be discussed
in advance with the instrument and sample environment responsibles.

The SANS-II beamline will not accept further proposals in cycle II/08
and the imaging beamlines NEUTRA and ICON will accept only a limited
number of additional proposals in 2008 since they are already heavily
occupied.

Beam time on the instrument MORPHEUS can be allocated by contacting the
instrument responsible directly.
