10th Call for Proposals for User Experiments: Regular Proposals (including Cross-Instrument Use) and Sample and Protein Crystal Screening Proposals
The 10th call for regular proposals at the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser Facility (European XFEL) is open until Friday, 09 December 2022, at 16:00 (local Hamburg/Schenefeld time / Central European Time – CET) for the seven scientific instruments planned to be in operation the second semester of 2023. Please refer to the important information below and apply via the User Portal to the European XFEL (UPEX).
- In the framework of this call, standard configurations for the HED and the MID, instruments can be specified in the UPEX proposal form.
- The SCS instrument only accepts proposals for the solid-state sample environment of the XRD experiment station and RIXS spectrometer using back-scattering geometries
- A specific call for Sample and Protein Crystal Screening (PCS) proposals is also open at SPB/SFX with the same deadline as the regular call.
- The SXP instrument joins the call for proposals for the first time. Following the approach used at the baseline instruments, Community Proposals will be organized and be given priority over regular proposals. Access to this instrument in this run is only possible in the standard configuration described in section 1.3 below.
A virtual information meeting was held on Thursday, 10 November 2022. You are encouraged to visit our user online event pages in order to learn more details about this call. Copies of the slides and a video of the event are added to the meeting page as soon as available.
