_____________________________________________________________<br>
<b>PERIOD:</b><br>
Herewith we call for proposals for the <b>beam time period II-24 between 16 October - 23 December 2024</b>. Another proposal deadline is envisaged for 15 November 2024 to cover the beam time period May - August 2025.<br>
<br>
_____________________________________________________________<br>
<b>PROPOSAL-SUBMISSION:</b><br>
<b>New users</b> are kindly asked to contact the instrument scientists before submitting a proposal to discuss instrumental options and reasonable beam time requests. Please make use of the option to link related previous proposals with their experimental reports
to the new one. A proper mention of previous results will provide a certain 'bonus' during the evaluation process.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
