The first proposal round for neutron-beam experiments at OPAL closed today, for beam time on the ECHIDNA and WOMBAT powder diffractometers.
A total of 81 beam-time proposals from Australia and overseas, for a total of 353 beam days spread over the 2 instruments have been requested.
Another experienced scientist joined us this week: Dr James Hester (formerly a Bragg Institute employee at the Australian Synchrotron Research Program's beamline at the Photon Factory in Japan), as an instrument scientist for the ECHIDNA high-resolution powder diffractometer.
James brings a wealth of experience from the BIGDIFF X-ray powder diffractometer, along with years of successful experience serving the Australian scientific community from Japan.
