Till July 7th a new call for proposals of the ALBA Synchrotron is opened. These experiments will be developed from January to June 2015.

From June 5th till July 7th, those researchers interested in developing an experiment at any of the beamlines of ALBA Synchrotron could submit a proposal. For this period, Long Term Proposals will be accepted under very restricted conditions (maximum 2 years, only one long term proposal per end station and the proposal must demonstrate long-term added value to ALBA - equipment remaining in the experimental station, development of new techniques, additional staff, etc.-). Proposals for MX (BL13-XALOC beamline) should be submitted as BAG (Block Allocation Group) and the access will cover the whole 2015.

Once the proposal has fulfilled the technical requirements, it is evaluated by a panel, composed by international researchers from different research areas. The panel evaluation results on a ranking based on criteria of scientific excellence.

The resolution of this call is expected to be published at the end of 2014.

Researchers interested in performing an experiment in ALBA must submit a proposal through the ALBA User Office Portal: http://useroffice.cells.es/
