3rd round of OPAL beam-time applications

The Bragg Institute Program Advisory Committee met today to assess the 158 neutron-beam proposals submitted by 8 May, requesting 883 days of beam time.

 

For the first time, the committee considered larger 3-year Program proposals, in addition to the normal proposals for individual experiments.  3 programs and 108 experiments were recommended for approval, with beam time allocations as follows: 69 days on Echidna, 122 days on Wombat, 97 days on Kowari, 80 days on Koala, 101 days on  Platypus, 60 days on Quokka and 32 days on Taipan.

 

Decision letters concerning the beam-time allocation will be sent in the next few weeks. These experiments will be scheduled for dates commencing in September 2009.

 

In addition, and for the first time, the Program Advisory Committee assessed 17 proposals to use the Bio-deuteration facilities at the National Deuteration Facility.  The chemical deuteration facilities will be open for external use in the next call, which closes on 30 October 2009.
