EASY access to the ILL beam time

Dear Colleague,

we are happy to announce that a new application has been developed on 
the ILL Visitors Club, for granting quick and easy access to ILL 
beamtime. The Easy Access System (EASY) will grant diffraction beamtime 
to scientists from ILL member countries, who need a rapid structural 
characterisation of samples and data analysis. Access will be open all 
year long, and it will not be necessary to go through the ILL standard 
proposal round and consequent peer review system.

The system – already operational in other neutron scattering facilities 
such as ISIS – will offer one neutron day per cycle, on four instruments 
(D1A, D2B, VIVALDI and ORIENTEXPRESS) to perform very short experiments 
(a maximum of 4h per cycle) at room temperature. The users will not be 
invited to the ILL, but will send their samples to one of two designated 
ILL scientists (one for powder and one for single-crystal experiments), 
who will be responsible for the measurements and sample radiological 
control. The ILL will ship back the sample once the measurement is 
finished.

You can apply for EASY beam time on club.ill.fr now! Not only regular 
ILL users but also new users are strongly encouraged to apply.
