The Call 2022/1 is now closed for the µSR instruments DOLLY, GPD, GPS, HAL-9500 and LEM.
Notifications and beam schedule will be published by beginning of March 2022.
Next deadline for submission in DUO:

Mid of May to September 2022 - For the instrument DOLLY:
Not available for the 2nd call for beam time allocation from October to December 2022. - Due to delay in the delivery of the superconducting magnet, the future FLAME instrument is foreseen to be commissioned in the first half of 2022, with pilot experiments afterwards. Regular user operation is planned later in 2022, depending on the status of the superconducting magnet.
The deadline for the 2nd call 2022/2 is June 06, 2022, for the allocation period October to December 2022.
General Guidelines
