[Neutron] Reminder: ORNL call for neutron scattering proposals

Reminder: Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Call for Proposals for experiments at both the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) closes 6am EDT, Monday, July 16, 2007, and includes the following nine instruments:

HFIR instruments [Covering run cycle HFIR 410 Rapid Access (starting August 2007) and run cycles HFIR 411 and HFIR 412 (dates to be determined beginning Fall 2007)]

· Ames Lab Triple Axis (HB 1A)

· Triple-Axis Spectrometers (HB 1 and HB 3)

· Residual Stress (HB 2B)

· SANS (CG 2)

· Bio-SANS (CG 3)

SNS instruments [Covering run cycle SNS 2008-1 beginning November 2007]

· Backscattering Spectrometer (BL 2)

· Magnetism Reflectometer (BL 4A)

· Liquids Reflectometer (BL 4B)

These calls cover the experimental period at HFIR and SNS beginning November 2007. Details concerning proposal submission and instrument capabilities are at http://neutrons.ornl.gov. The link http://www.ornl.gov/sci/iums/ipts/ directs you immediately to the proposal system.

All proposals will be reviewed for feasibility, safety, and the potential for high impact science. Users of approved experiments must complete certain access and training requirements prior to beginning their experiments. Both HFIR and SNS are user facilities funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science.
