Call for Proposals for µSR Experiments at the SµS

The Call 2023/1 is closed for the µSR instruments DOLLY, FLAME, GPD, GPS, HAL-9500 and LEM.

Notifications and beam schedule will be published beginning of March, 2023.

• Note that while the commissioning of the new FLAME instrument is underway and shows good progress, it is possible that not all the automation of the experiment controls are fully functioning in the first beam cycle in 2023. It is hence possible that e.g., automatic temperature scans can be performed while it is not clear now if automatic field scans will be doable from the start of the beam period. Therefore, we will accept proposals for FLAME with the mutual understanding that experimentation might be more challenging at the beginning than on other SMuS instruments. Please consider longer experiment times in your proposal for this reason.
• Note that there will be a 2nd call with deadline June 1, 2023, for the allocation period October to December 2023. This second call will be limited to the instruments FLAME, GPD, GPS, HAL-9500 and LEM.
• If you are not sure about the most suitable instrument for your research, necessary sample mass and sample alignment or any other experimental issue please discuss with the instrument scientists before the submission of the proposal.

Next deadline for submission in DUO (call 2023/2):

• June 01, 2023, 23:59 CEST

Allocation period:

• For the instruments FLAME, GPD, GPS, HAL-9500 and LEM: 
  June  to September 2023
• For the instrument DOLLY:
  A four month period between June and December 2023

The deadline for the 2nd call 2023/2 is June 01, 2023, for the allocation period October to December 2023.
