2nd Call for Lujan Neutron Scattering Center Proposals


for Run Cycle Beginning November 1, 2011

 

You are invited to submit a proposal to apply for beam time at the Los
Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) Lujan Neutron Scattering Center, for
the run cycle scheduled to begin November 1, 2011.  This run cycle is
extended by two months and will end at the end of February, 2012.

 

The deadline for submitting the proposals is 6:00 p.m. (18:00) Mountain

resubmitted for the following run cycle.

 

Successful proposals will be scheduled during the period November, 2011
through February 2012. Fast access proposals will be accepted throughout,
but require compelling evidence of sufficient scientific urgency to justify
scheduling.

or proposal preparation.
