On Proposal Submission

We invite users and collaborators to discuss their proposals with the beamline local contacts well in advance before the submission deadline. This is crucial for a careful assessment of the experiment feasibility and may result in an improvement of the proposal. In a restricted number of cases, when doubts arise about the suitability of your samples or the planned measurements, it may be possible for us to arrange a test. Please read carefully our guidelines for proposal submission.

Call for proposals

The deadline for proposal submission for beamtime allocation is to be announced.

Timing for the submission of the Access Request varies according to Users Categories: General Users, EU Funded Users, Research Team Members and Collaborators must submit their Access Form at least two weeks before the experiment. Italian Users must submit their Access Request form at least one month before the experiment.
