[Neutron] Reminder: FRM II Call for Proposals, Oct. 8 2010

[Gutberlet, Thomas]

Dear user of FRM II,

We like to remind you 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 October 8th,2010.

The review of the proposals will take place on November, 26th 2010.
Results of the referees will be online about two weeks later.

Please note: Due to the refurbishment of the positron source, the
reactor operation will be limited in 2010. We are planning to run 3,5
cycles in order to deliver 203 days of beam time for scientific and
industrial applications. The work will start in October 2010 and will
last till spring 2011.

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. Please find all details at

PGAA: prompt gamma-activation analysis

Positrons:

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

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 (deadline October 8th 2010) for the instruments KWS-2, KWS-3, J-NSE, DNS, MARIA and SPHERES and CRG beam time at JCNS instruments at ILL and SNS for German users.

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.

We look forward getting your proposals,
best regards from Garching,

The FRM II User Office
