[sdpd] LANSCE Call for Proposals: Weapons Neutron Research & Lujan Neutron Scattering Center

[Anna Llobet <allobet...@lanl.gov>]

Los Alamos Neutron Science Center Call for Proposals 
for Run Cycle Beginning in June 2009 
*

You are invited to submit a proposal to apply for beam time at the Los 
Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) for the run cycle scheduled to 
begin in June 2009. Please note the different deadlines for each facility.

*

/Nuclear Science/WNR/

The deadline for submitting the proposals is 6:00 p.m. (1800) Mountain 
Standard Time, Monday, March 2, 2009. Successful proposals will be 
scheduled during the period from June through December 2009. 

Lujan Center Neutron Scattering Center

First Call:  Deadline for submitting the proposals is 6:00 p.m. (1800) 
Mountain Standard Time, Monday, March 23, 2009. Successful proposals 
will be scheduled during the period from June through September 2009. 

Second Call: Call for proposals will start on June 1, 2009.  Deadline 
for submitting the proposals is 6:00 p.m. (1800) Mountain Standard Time, 
Monday, July 20, 2009. Successful proposals will be scheduled during the 
period from September through December 2009. 

Any proposals submitted after the due date will not be reviewed by the 
Program Advisory Committees and must be resubmitted for the following 
run cycle or as an out-of-cycle, fast access proposal.   Fast access 
proposals will be accepted throughout and if successfully reviewed will 
be scheduled when possible.

Instruments/flight paths available in the current call for proposals are:

*
NUCLEAR SCIENCE / WNR FLIGHT PATHS
*

 
1.    Target 1 (Low-energy neutron source)
a.    Flight path 5  Fission and other experiments
b.    Flight path 14 (DANCE) capture reactions, fission, g-ray measurements
c.    Flight path 12  Fundamental physics flight path
 
2.    Target 2 (Proton irradiations): (Blue Room) Radiation effects, 
Isotope production, Lead Slowing-Down Spectrometer, PSR beam, linac beam
 
3.    Target 4 (High-energy neutron source):           
a.    Flight Path 90L  Fission, charged particle reactions
b.    Flight Path 30L  ICE House, single event effects
c.     Flight path 15L  20 m and 90 m
d.    Flight path 15R  Few-body physics
e.    Flight path 30R  FIGARO, (n,z) reactions
f.      Flight path 60R  GEANIE

Because of their impact on the overall user program, proposals for sole 
use experiments (i.e., those that require dedicated facility operation, 
such as PSR beam to Target 2 and other than 800 MeV proton beam) should 
be discussed with the management of WNR so that policies associated with 
such experiments and the prospect of them being accommodated can be 
explained.


    LUJAN NEUTRON SCATTERING CENTER FLIGHT PATHS

   1. Polarized Beam Reflectometer (Asterix)
   2. Filter Difference Spectrometer (FDS)
   3. High-Pressure Preferred Orientation Diffractometer (HIPPO)
   4. Low Q Diffractometer (LQD)
   5. Neutron Powder Diffractometer (NPDF)
   6. Protein Crystallography Station (PCS)
   7. High-Resolution Chopper Spectrometer (Pharos)
   8. Spectrometer for Materials Research at Temperature and Stress (SMARTS)
   9. Surface Profile Analysis Reflectometer (SPEAR)

Proposals for the following instruments will be accepted, although user 
support will be very limited:

  10. Single Crystal Diffractometer (SCD)
  11. High Intensity Powder Diffractometer (HIPD)

Proposal Guidance and Submission
*

Proposals must be submitted using the process on the LANSCE 
website.  Only proposals submitted in this manner will be accepted.  
-To access the proposal submission site, go to the LANSCE home 
page, http://lansce.lanl.gov/.  
-From there, click on the appropriate facility (Lujan or WNR) tab then 
select ?Submit a proposal for beam time?. 
-Step-by-step instructions can be found on the Proposal Home web page.

Classified proposals must be submitted in hard copy.  They should be 
submitted to:

Los Alamos National Laboratory

Mail Station 5000

LANSCE User Office c/o MS H803

Los Alamos, NM 87545

or hand carried to TA-53, Bldg. 1, room D108.

Should you have any questions or require assistance, please contact the 
LANSCE User Office by e-mail at lansce_users...@lanl.gov 
<mailto:lansce_users...@lanl.gov> or by telephone at (505) 665-1010.

*NPAC/MPAC*

The LANSCE Nuclear Science Program Advisory Committee (NPAC) and 
Materials Program Advisory Committee (MPAC) will meet in April to review 
and rate submissions.  Proposal status and beam time notifications will 
be sent out by early May.

For second call proposal submissions, the MPAC will meet in August to 
review and rate them.  Proposal status and beam time notifications will 
be sent out by late August.
