X10SA (PXII) Beamline Calendar
Proposals
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.

Shift Schedule
| Beamline for | Academic Users | Industrial Users |
|---|---|---|
| Morning Shift | 10:00 - 18:00 | 10:00 - 18:00 |
| Evening Shift | 18:00 - 02:00 | 18:00 - 02:00 |

Shift Policy
- 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.
