X10SA (PXII) Beamline Calendar

• Link to X10SA (PXII) calendar with local contact informations

User proposals are accepted for collaboration projects with the MS2 Microspectrophotometer (UV/Vis absorption, fluorescence, (Resonance) Raman spectroscopy). These will be conducted in the PSI in-house research time

For standard X-ray diffraction data collection, there is no public proposal system for X10SA. The available time is divided between the partner institutions.

Note that due to machine shifts, the Night Shift from Monday to Tuesday ends already at 7 AM Tuesday morning. This also applies to Night Shifts preceding shutdowns.

 

Please note that the entire shift is 8 h but the actual measurement time officially starts one hour after the allocated shift starting time to allow setup and loading/removing of pucks in the robot sample changer. Still, the local contact will let you know if you are able to start earlier.

• The beamtime has to be cancelled at latest 2 weeks in advance, otherwise the shifts will be fully deduced from the number of available shifts.
• In case the user provides a substitute with a valid proposal within the 2 week period the shifts will be deduced from the proposal of the substitute.
• The same rules and cancellation period hold for proprietary beamtime, with the difference that the shifts will be charged to the customer even if they are not used.
• The information about shift cancellations must be sent to the responsible beamline staff as well as to the local contact of the corresponding date if already assigned.
• The duration of the shift comprises setup of the beamline and possible loading/removing of samples in the robot.
