Querida Ma Jose ,
En attachement te envio una carta y una hoja excel que
explica el proceso de las evaluaciones de las propuestas enviadas al
SAC.
Ademas te incluyo unos comentarios que G. Gruebel
(mayusculas) and B. Dobson (minusculas) me mandaron
:
“
1 The basic thrust of the proposal is rather unclear. In
the SAC folder the beam line is called Diffraction nanostructures, the proposal
is entitled "High Resolution and Micro-focus Diffraction Beamline" and the first
page has a heading "...surface diffraction beam line...".
The proposal includes conventional diffraction and
coherent diffraction and direct coherent imaging all of which have somewhat
different requirements in terms of instrumentation, wavelength and in particular
detectors. These varying requirements are not strongly reflected in the
description of the proposed beam line.
I WOULD ADD THAT THE BEBEFIT OR LOSS OF THE COHERENCE
ASPECT SHOULD BE ADRESSED.
CONCERNING COHERENT IMAGING THERE NEEDS TO BE A CASE
MADE (WITH NUMBERS). A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE IS NOT
SUFFICIENT.
2 The proposal is suggesting a very wide range of
experimental techniques including harsh environments, UHV surface diffraction,
liquid surface diffraction, electrochemistry etc. It is not clear which of
equipment for these techniques is included in the proposal. If all were included
this will be an immensely expensive beam line.
3 The proposal suggests that two hutches will be
provided: one for the diffractometer and one for the UHV surface diffraction.
There is no discussion of the layout of these hutches, how the beam will be
switched from one to the other or how the beam time will be scheduled to keep
the two expensive instruments fully occupied.
AN EVALUATION OF THE BEAMLINE IN VIEW OF THE EUROPEAN
CONTEXT IS NECESSARY. WHAT CAPABILITY EXITS ELSEEWHERE. IN WHAT AREAS IS THE
BEAMLINE SUPPOSED TO LEAD.
4 Whilst the beam line design is still preliminary,
there is no costing presented.
In particular, the costs of the diffractometer and the
UHV system could be reasonably easily costed.”
Puedes responder a estos comentarios sea antes del 23 de
Junio (punto 5 de la carta ) o más tarde si es que es necesario. Lo ideal es que
hicieras una revisión de la propuesta y que vaya a referees externos con los
comentarios ya tenidos en cuenta.
Si necesitas alguna aclaración ya sabes donde
estoy.
Un abrazo
