Upcoming proposal deadlines:
The Canadian Light Source (CLS) conducts a Call for Proposals twice per year, accepting proposals for peer-reviewed access to beamtime in the upcoming cycle. The deadline for this call for beamtime allocations in 2024 is August 23rd 2023 We are glad to announce that SESAME is now accepting proposals for the user period starting from January 01st to June 30th 2024. SESAME is increasing the number of available beamlines from 3 to 5: ID10 – BEATS, ID11L – HESEB, BM08 – XAFS/XRF, BM02 – IR Infrared spectromicroscopy and ID09 – MS/XPD Materials Science/X-ray Powder Diffraction beamline. All beam time at NSLS-II is allocated based on a peer-reviewed proposal process. To start, you need to identify the type of proposal that fits your needs. You’ll need to know either the technique required, the beamline name/number, or the name of the beamline primary contact to use the Beamlines Available for Proposals page (below) to determine the appropriate proposal type. We encourage scientists from all over the world to submit proposals for general user beamtime experiments at the PAL-XFEL from January to June 2024. The PAL-XFEL has three beamlines, two for hard X-ray experiments (XSS: X-ray Scattering and Spectroscopy, NCI: Nano Crystallography and Coherent Imaging) and one for soft X-ray experiments (SSS: Soft X-ray Scattering and Spectroscopy). MAX IV opens Calls for proposals twice per year for the General User Access program. The calls are named according to their beamtime period (and year), not when the call itself opens. The next submission for proposals for AP35 is open. Proposals must be submitted by Wednesday 27th September 2023 at 17:00hrs UTC+1/GMT+1. Diamond runs call for proposal every 6 months in the spring and the autumn, aiming for peer review meetings in May and October.
