The Call for proposals for 2025-I cycle for all beamlines and microscopes is now closed.
- Opening: July 1st, 2024
- Deadline: September 9th , 2024, 14:00 ( CEST)
Call for Proposals for 2025-I cycle will cover experiments from January 2025 to June 2025 except for MX Beamlines, which will cover all the year. The beamtime will be distributed between both beamlines by technical suitability and scientific interest.
Note that in this 2025-I cycle two new beamlines, namely XAIRA (microfocus MX) and FaXToR (micro-computed tomography) are starting user operation with a reduced number of shifts, to be progressively increased in following cycles.
Information about the specifics of the microscopes can be obtained here.
For those users applying to MSPD, CLAESS and NOTOS: if your proposal goes to the waiting list, it can be moved to another beamline in case enough beamtime is available. Please, indicate your preferred beamline and the second option in the text of the proposal.
- Applications for researcher’s access to beamlines will be submitted through the current user office portal.
- Applications for researcher’s access to electron microscopes will be submitted through the new user office portal (for microscopes only). You will not need to register again, if you are already registered as ALBA user (X-ray or TEM program).
