[Neutron] Call for Letters of Intent: Instrumentation at LujanCenter

Call for Letters of Intent

To participate in

Instrument Advisory Teams for

New Lujan Center Instrumentation

 

The Lujan Neutron Scattering Center at LANSCE, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and

Basic Energy Sciences, Department of Energy

May 1, 2008

The Lujan Center invites individuals and institutions to submit Letters
of Intent (LOI) to the Proposal Evaluation Committee expressing a strong
interest in participating in building upgrades to existing neutron
scattering instruments or new instruments in our anticipated Enhancement
of Lujan Center Project (ELP).   The objective of this project
is to establish a world-competitive scattering instrument on every
available flight path by fiscal year 2013.  The scope currently
includes materials research instrumentation including sample
environments.  Funding is anticipated in the FY10-FY13
period.

There are eight new or recently upgraded instruments on the Lujan
Center’s 17 flight paths.  These instruments are open to upgrade
projects or enhanced sample environments.

Letters of Intent may be submitted immediately.  There is no end
date to this Call.  LOIs that have arrived by July 1, 2008 will be
reviewed and evaluated by the PEC for the initial selection of planning
workshops.  We anticipate holding three workshops in
August-September, 2008 and additional workshops in FY09.

In one to two pages, each LOI should briefly describe the project of
interest, its applications in materials research, the potential community
served, and participating individuals and institutions.  The PEC
will evaluate the conceptual merit of the proposed project; in-depth
technical merit will be assessed at a later pre-proposal stage. 
Additional materials such as CVs will be accepted.

LOIs should be sent by post or email to:
