Beamline access and schedule

  • Important deadlines for proposal submissions for X06SA (PXI) and X06DA (PXIII) can be found at PSI Proposal Calls.
  • For X10SA (PXII), there is no public proposal system; instead, the available time is allocated among partner institutions.
  • Users interested in performing experiments are encouraged to contact the beamline scientists before submission of the proposal.
  • Proposals must be submitted using the Digital Users Office (DUO).
  • The beamtime has to be cancelled at least 2 weeks in advance. Otherwise, the shifts will be fully deducted from the number of available shifts.
  • 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 and the local contact for the corresponding date if it has already been assigned.
  • The shift duration includes the time required for the beamline setup and loading/removing of samples in the robot.
