Dear User,

Dear User,

JCNS offers world-class instrumentation for research with neutron in the best neutron sources worldwide, FRM II, ILL and SNS.

We encourage users from German institutions to apply for beam time at the JCNS instruments at ILL and SNS.

Deadline for proposal submission is September 7th, 2018

Please submit your proposals as follows:

ILL

Proposals can be submitted via the ILL Visitor Club https://userclub.ill.eu/

where you will find the following links in the PROPOSAL page CRG Proposal submission IN12

CRG Proposal submission IN22 CRG Proposal submission D23

If you are new to ILL please register as a new member at https://userclub.ill.eu/

which will give you access to the proposal system.

Please download the template for the 2 page scientific background at http://www.fz-juelich.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/JCNS/EN/JCNS-Scientific- Background_doc.html

SNS

Proposals can be submitted via the online IPTS available at the SNS https://snsapp1.sns.ornl.gov/xprod/f?p=100

When creating your proposal, select "General User" as the proposal type.

On the Instrument Selection page, answer "Yes" to this question:

Do you request to be considered for Partner User time through the Juelich partner program?

The following JCNS instruments are available through the current proposal round:

BASIS (partner beam time) POWGEN (partner beam time) SNS-NSE (partner beam time)

If you are new to SNS please register as a new member at https://user.ornl.gov/

which will give you access to the IPTS proposal system.

Proposals rejected for the JCNS beam time will have the chance to compete for the SNS beam time (note that ORNL will not pay for travel for General User beam time).

Please take care to follow the described procedure,

otherwise the proposal will not be considered for JCNS beam time, but only for SNS one.

GENERAL INFORMATION

In order to be considered for the present call, at least one member of the proposal team has to be working at a German institution apart from JCNS.

If your proposed experiment needs any sample environment, you are kindly asked to fill also the sample environment part of the proposal form.

Please do not describe the sample conditions only in the 2-page pdf file.

The review of the proposals will take approximately 4 weeks.

To ensure the feasibility of the proposed experiment please contact the instrument scientist well in advance.
