   Submission:

   ===========

    All submissions will be handled by the SLS Digital Users

    Office (DUO).



    Notes:

    ======

    a) The IR beamline has first light, but is not yet in a

       condition to receive general users. A first set of

       pilot proposals has been selected out of the last

       call for proposals. Users interested in doing

       experiments or assisting with the commissioning

       are requested to contact the beamline manager

       Philippe Lerch ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).



    b) VUV, a beamline for vacuum ultraviolet radiation

       is now starting up and accepting first expert users

       (pilot proposals).

       Users are asked to adhere to the following rules:

       Users who are interested to perform an experiment at

       the new beamline:

       i)  first contact the beamline manager

           Melanie Johnson ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

       ii) submit the proposal with type 'Pilot'.



    c) SuperXAS, a beamline for chemistry, environmental

       sciences is now starting up and accepting first

       expert users (pilot proposals).

       Users are asked to adhere to the following rules:

       Users who are interested to perform an experiment at

       the new beamline:

       i)  first contact the beamline manager

           Maarten Nachtegaal ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

       ii) submit the proposal with type 'Pilot'.



    d) Proposals involving the FEMTO slicing facility or the

       laser system for time-resolved measurements in the

       picosecond regime should be discussed with the

       group leader Gerhard Ingold ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

       or the head of laboratory LSYI Rafael Abela

       ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) prior to submission.



    e) For the proposal evaluation by the Proposal Review

       Committee, DUO Experimental Reports on previous

       experiments represent a very important input, and

       a missing experimental report may seriously affect

       the chances of acceptance. Proposers are asked to

       supply a separate experimental report for each

       experiment performed. Note that now also a co-proposer

       can input an experimental report.



    f) The SLS is part of the EU I3 initiative and we will

       be able to provide travel and accommodation support.

       Proposers interested in this support are asked to mark

       the corresponding box in the proposal. For further

       details please go to:
