Our 7th proposal round closed today, with 109 proposals across our 5 thermal-neutron instruments, and both Chemical and Bio-Deuteration at the National Deuteration Facility.
Including existing approved programs and the mail-in system on ECHIDNA, 675 beam days were requested across ECHIDNA, WOMBAT, KOALA, KOWARI, and TAIPAN.
Including strong demand from the National Science Council of Taiwan, roughly 35% of demand was from overseas (China, New Zealand, Japan, the USA, South Africa and 8 other countries in Asia and Europe).
47% of demand was from Austalian universities and CSIRO, and 18% from ANSTO itself.
These proposals will now go out for external review by up to 5 referees, with the final recommendations on allocation of beam time, by the Program Advisory Committee on 11-12 August 2011. Approved experiments will be run, starting in October 2011.
The next proposal round is open, with a closing date of 15 September 2011.
