[Neutron] LANSCE Call for Proposals: Weapons Neutron Research & Lujan Neutron Scattering Center

[Leilani Conradson]

Los Alamos Neutron Science Center Call for Proposals
for Run Cycle Beginning in June 2009
You are invited to submit a proposal to apply for beam time at the  
Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) for the run cycle  
scheduled to begin in June 2009. Please note the different deadlines  
for each facility.



Nuclear Science/WNR

The deadline for submitting the proposals is 6:00 p.m. (1800)  
Mountain Standard Time, Monday, March 2, 2009. Successful proposals  
will be scheduled during the period from June through December 2009.

Lujan Center Neutron Scattering Center

First Call:  Deadline for submitting the proposals is 6:00 p.m.  
(1800) Mountain Standard Time, Monday, March 23, 2009. Successful  
proposals will be scheduled during the period from June through  
September 2009.

Second Call: Call for proposals will start on June 1, 2009.  Deadline  
for submitting the proposals is 6:00 p.m. (1800) Mountain Standard  
Time, Monday, July 20, 2009. Successful proposals will be scheduled  
during the period from September through December 2009.

Any proposals submitted after the due date will not be reviewed by  
the Program Advisory Committees and must be resubmitted for the  
following run cycle or as an out-of-cycle, fast access proposal.    
Fast access proposals will be accepted throughout and if successfully  
reviewed will be scheduled when possible.


Instruments/flight paths available in the current call for proposals  
are:

NUCLEAR SCIENCE / WNR FLIGHT PATHS


1.    Target 1 (Low-energy neutron source)
	a.    Flight path 5  Fission and other experiments
	b.    Flight path 14 (DANCE) capture reactions, fission, g-ray  
measurements
	c.    Flight path 12  Fundamental physics flight path

2.    Target 2 (Proton irradiations): (Blue Room) Radiation effects,  
Isotope production, Lead Slowing-Down Spectrometer, PSR beam, linac beam

3.    Target 4 (High-energy neutron source):
	a.    Flight Path 90L  Fission, charged particle reactions
	b.    Flight Path 30L  ICE House, single event effects
	c.     Flight path 15L  20 m and 90 m
	d.    Flight path 15R  Few-body physics
	e.    Flight path 30R  FIGARO, (n,z) reactions
	f.      Flight path 60R  GEANIE

Because of their impact on the overall user program, proposals for  
sole use experiments (i.e., those that require dedicated facility  
operation, such as PSR beam to Target 2 and other than 800 MeV proton  
beam) should be discussed with the management of WNR so that policies  
associated with such experiments and the prospect of them being  
accommodated can be explained.

LUJAN NEUTRON SCATTERING CENTER FLIGHT PATHS

Polarized Beam Reflectometer (Asterix)
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 for the following instruments will be accepted, although  
user support will be very limited:

Single Crystal Diffractometer (SCD)
High Intensity Powder Diffractometer (HIPD)

Proposal Guidance and Submission

Proposals must be submitted using the process on the LANSCE website.   
Only proposals submitted in this manner will be accepted.
-To access the proposal submission site, go to the LANSCE home page,  
http://lansce.lanl.gov/.
-From there, click on the appropriate facility (Lujan or WNR) tab  
then select “Submit a proposal for beam time”.
-Step-by-step instructions can be found on the Proposal Home web page.
Classified proposals must be submitted in hard copy.  They should be  
submitted to:

	Los Alamos National Laboratory

	Mail Station 5000

	LANSCE User Office c/o MS H803

	Los Alamos, NM 87545

or hand carried to TA-53, Bldg. 1, room D108.

Should you have any questions or require assistance, please contact  
the LANSCE User Office by e-mail at lansce_users at lanl.gov or by  
telephone at (505) 665-1010.
NPAC/MPAC

The LANSCE Nuclear Science Program Advisory Committee (NPAC) and  
Materials Program Advisory Committee (MPAC) will meet in April to  
review and rate submissions.  Proposal status and beam time  
notifications will be sent out by early May.

For second call proposal submissions, the MPAC will meet in August to  
review and rate them.  Proposal status and beam time notifications  
will be sent out by late August.
