[Neutron] FRM II Call for Proposals

[Thomas Gutberlet]

Dear colleagues,

you are invited to apply for beam time at the German neutron source 
Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II). Proposals can be submitted any time via 
our user portal http://user.frm2.tum.de. They are reviewed twice a year. 
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.

*Deadline for proposal submission is July 17. 2009. *

The review of the proposals will take place on Sept, 14th 2009. Results 
of the referees will be online about two weeks later. The experiments of 
the accepted proposals will start from the 22th cycle, i.e. from Nov. 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:

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

The beam time of the FRM II on the instruments of the JCNS facility 
hosted at FRM II neutron source in Garching are distributed through the 
JCNS proposal system at http://fzj.frm2.tum.de (next deadline is 
September 14th 2009) for the instruments KWS-2, J-NSE, DNS and SPHERES 
and CRG beam time at JCNS ILL and SNS instruments.

In addition to beam tube experiments irradiation facilities are 
available for neutron activation analysis, isotope production and 
silicon doping. Altogether 17 irradiation channels are available for 
scientific and industrial applications.
