Tue Jul 19 06:51:56 CEST 2011

*Announcement of the J-PARC/MLF user program for the 2011B term*

*The East-Japan Great Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011 has caused
considerable damage to the J-PARC facility, and we are making every
effort for recovery with a prospect of resuming beam delivery at MLF by
January 2012.***

*With this provisional schedule in mind, call for proposals on neuron
and muon experiment program at the J-PARC/MLF for the second half term
of FY2011 (2011B) opens on July 17, 2011. Users wishing to conduct
experiments at MLF, including those for "public" neutron beam lines
maintained by CROSS, are encouraged to submit proposals via the
web-based "J-PARC proposal system".***

*1. Overview of MLF use*

General information concerning the use of MLF such as access modes,
types and categories of proposals, application and reviewing, procedures
for conducting experiment are shown in the　following web-site.

- Accepted proposals from universities or academic institutions to use
any KEK neutron instruments (BL08, BL12, BL16, BL21) will be supported
by the KEK inter-university research program. Those from private
companies are requested to contact with the address shown below before
application.

- For the instrument (BL21) proposals on research of hydrogen storage
materials are applicable.

- Specific program for the instruments (BL03, BL20) conducted by Ibaraki
Prefecture is called separately. Please contact the following

IBARAKI Prefecture Office, IBARAKI Quantum Beam Research Center

TEL: +81-29-352-3301

for more details.

- For the public instruments (BL01, BL02, BL15, BL17) CROSS calls for
proposals via the web-based "J-PARC proposal system" in common with MLF
according to this guide.

Please visit the following web-site.

Accepted proposals from universities or academic institutions to use any
KEK muon instruments (D1, D2) will be supported by the KEK
inter-university research program. Those from private companies are
requested to contact with the address shown below before application.

*7. Status of MLF*

Commissioning of both existing and newly-installed instruments will be
started as soon as the accelerators and neutron sources are operational
again. Detailed information on beam time, beam power, the status of each
instrument will be delivered on time. Although J-PARC is doing its
utmost to start all instruments as scheduled, there is uncertainty over
when neutron and muon beam will return to service and when heavily
damaged instruments will be ready. Your understanding would be greatly
appreciated.**
