We are pleased to announce that the PELICAN time-of-flight spectrometer, the KOOKABURRA ultra-SANS instrument and the DINGO radiography/tomography/imaging station are now available for user proposals via the OPAL on-line portal.
All three instruments are currently in commissioning with neutrons, and have taken publication-quality data, and any award of beam time is contingent upon regulatory approval to move from commissioning to operations.
The proposal deadline is 15 March 2014, for beam time between July and December of this year.
This brings the number of available neutron beam instruments up to ten, along with both bio- and chemical-deuteration at the National Deuteration Facility, and small-angle X-ray scattering and X-ray reflectometry, which are also available in conjunction with the equivalent neutron instruments, QUOKKA and PLATYPUS.
