[Neutron] Reminder Call for Proposals FRM II, Jan. 16. 2009

[Thomas Gutberlet]

Dear colleagues,

the German neutron source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) wishes you a 
happy and peaceful 2009.

We also like to remind you to apply for beam time at  FRM II.

Deadline for next proposal submission is Jan. 16th 2009.

Proposals can be submitted any time till Jan. 16th 2009 via our user 
portal https://user.frm2.tum.de. Please register in the user office. 
With your personal account you can access the proposal and reporting 
system and get additional informations and guidance to perform 
experiments at the FRM II.

The review of the proposals will take place on March, 6th 2009. Results 
of the referees will be online about two weeks later. The experiments of 
the accepted proposals will start from the 20th cycle, i.e. from June 2009.
The FRM II is a partner in the EU supported network of European neutron 
facilities (NMI3). Researchers working in EU Member States or Associated 
States other than Germany can apply for travel and subsistence 
reimbursement.

To ensure the feasibility of the proposed experiment please contact the 
instrument scientist well in advance. For the following instruments 
applications can be submitted:

Heidi: single crystal diffractometer, hot source
Resi: single crystal diffractometer, thermal source
Spodi: powder diffractometer, thermal source
Stress-Spec: material-science diffractometer, thermal source
Mira: reflectometer with long wave length neutrons
N-Rex+: reflectometer for material science, cold source
Refsans: time-of-flight reflectometer for soft matter, cold source

Spectroscopy:

Trisp: three-axis spectrometer with Spin-Echo, thermal source
Puma: three-axis spectrometer, thermal source
Panda: three-axis spectrometer, cold source
TofTof: time-of-flight spectrometer, cold source
Reseda: resonance spin-echo spectrometer, cold source

Radiography and Tomography:

Antares: radiography and tomography, cold source
Nectar: radiography and tomography, fission neutron source

PGAA: prompt gamma-activation analysis

Positrons:

Nepomuc:
positron beam ("open beam port")
positron auger spectrometer ("PAES")
positron defect spectrometer ("Coincidence doppler broadening")
positron life time spectroscopy ("PLEPS")

Particle physics:

Mephisto: neutron beam cold source for special experiments

Details of the instruments and sample environment available can be 
obtained from our Internet site  http://www.frm2.tum.de

Beam time at the instruments of the JCNS facility hosted at FRM II 
neutron source in Garching are distributed through the JCNS proposal 
system at https://fzj.frm2.tum.de (next deadline is April 6th 2009) for 
the instruments KWS-2, J-NSE, DNS and SPHERES.

In addition scattering experiments irradiation facilities are available 
at FRM II for neutron activation analysis, isotope production and 
silicon doping. Altogether 17 irradiation channels are available for 
scientific and industrial applications.
