Next MX-proposal application deadline: March 1, 2013 is approaching The Pilatus 6M is operational at BL14.1, which leads to a substantial performance increase of this station
See also: http://boat.helmholtz-berlin.de<http://www.bessy.de/boat/www/> We kindly invite new MX-proposals for beamtime applications for the next beamtime period. In order to apply for beamtime, please register at the HZB on-line access tool "BOAT" (http://boat.helmholtz-berlin.de<http://boat.helmholtz-berlin.de/>) and submit a new beamtime application proposal. HZB provides beamtime at the MX-beamlines 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3. The requested beamtime is granted based on the reviewed proposal and reports from previous research activities. Reported results from previous beamtimes stated in the "Experimental Reports" form will affect the chances for future beamtimes significantly. Please make sure to include them if available.
