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.
