Access

Laboratory Access

For users, access to the laboratories is requested during the beamtime application. European XFEL will assign beamtime contact persons for each project: A Local Contact from the Instrument group and a Lab Contact from the Sample Environment and Characterization group.

Laborarory access can also be provided for testing samples before beamtime application. If you are interested, please contact the Sample Environment and Characterization group: SEC@xfel.eu.

Please communicate your needs with the contact persons to clarify the mode of access.

Equipment Access

We're happy to provide you with all resources needed for a successful experiment. Access to the large scale equipment is subject to availability and often needs thorough planning.

As a beamtime user, please discuss your needs as early as possible with the Lab Contact or the Local Contact so they can make contact with a device expert.

If you're planning a beamtime proposal that could benefit from using our lab equipment, feel free to contact the Sample Environment and Charcterization group (SEC@xfel.eu). We'll come back to you to discuss your ideas. Together we can plan possible test measurements.

Training

Using the laboratories will require general and specific on-line safety training, as well as additional on-site training. For more information, please refer to the Users Safety Training page.

Training can only be provided during normal working hours (Typically Mon to Fri between 9:00 an 17:00, except for German public holidays) and needs to be coordinated with the Lab Contact. Please consider this when planning your travel.

Availability of Equipment, Chemicals and Consumables
