Joint Proposals for X-ray (SLS) and neutron (SINQ) powder diffraction

In 2008 PSI launched a first call for proposals for a joint use of both X-ray and neutron powder diffraction beamlines at SLS (Materials Science Beamline X04SA) and SINQ (thermal neutron diffractometer HRPT). The call was addressed to proposals for powder diffraction experiments in the fields of condensed matter, crystallography, chemistry, magnetism etc., for which the use of both synchrotron X-ray AND neutron diffraction is required and adequately justified. Since this initiative was very successful it was decided to launch such calls on a regular basis once a year.

Proposals should solely be submitted via the PSI Digital User Office, see link below. When logged into your account with DUO, select the link "Submit a new proposal" from the "Proposals" panel, and then, choose "Joint neutron - X-rays powder diffraction (SINQ and SLS)" from the popup menu. In the "General" part, when choosing the instrument, please select "Joint-MS-HRPT" as an instrument. Further, just follow the instructions for the regular proposal submission.
