[Kamitakahara, William]

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

You are invited to apply for time on the neutron beam instruments at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR).
The deadline for all proposals is May 7, 2013.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION FORM
You must have an account, or create one, on the NCNR Information Management System (NCNR-IMS) to submit a proposal.
See our pages at http://www.ncnr.nist.gov for details.  Our proposal form now requires you to upload the description
of your proposed experiment as a pdf file.  Please complete the Submit Visitor Registration Form NOW if you intend
to submit a proposal and subsequently visit the NCNR.

Quick Access Proposals may be submitted at any time, but are held to a higher standard.

Approved proposals will be allocated instrument time in the period from August 2013 through February 2014.

Please see our Web pages ( http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/call/current_call.html ) for details.


Instruments being offered in the current call for proposals are:

--Instruments supported by the Center for High Resolution Neutron Scattering

Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) - 30 m (NG3)
Ultra-Small Angle Neutron Scattering (USANS) instrument
High-Flux Backscattering Spectrometer (HFBS)
Disk-Chopper Spectrometer(DCS)
Neutron Spin-Echo Spectrometer (NSE)**
Multi-Angle Crystal Spectrometer (MACS)
** Because the NSE instrument is to be relocated to guide NG-A, only 20 days of user time will be allocated in the current
proposal round

--Other instruments

Thermal Neutron Triple-Axis with Polarized Beam Option (BT7)
Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) - 30 m (NG7)
MAGIK Off-Specular Reflectometer (MAGIK)
Polarized Beam Reflectometer (PBR)
Neutron Imaging Facility (NIF)
High-Resolution Powder Diffractometer (BT1)


Applicants should list publications resulting from use of previously allocated instrument time. The description of
research section must be uploaded as a pdf file no longer than 4 letter-size pages, nor more than 600 kb in file size.
Note the Tips on Proposal Writing section in the proposal instructions.

IMPORTANT - Please inform us of any papers published or in press since January 1, 2012, that have resulted from NCNR
instrument time or from collaboration with NCNR staff. Please send citation references to tanya.burke at nist.gov ,
including title, authors, affiliations, journal, volume, pages, and year of publication.

Additional information:

Some monetary assistance is available through an outreach program of the University of Maryland, for new NCNR users from
U.S. universities (up to a maximum of $500). Preference is given to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior
faculty. See details at http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/outreach.html
