Dear all,
The MX beamline at the Alba Synchrotron (Barcelona), BL13-XALOC, is now open for user proposal applications. Worldwide institutes are eligible for beamtime, which is awarded upon peer-reviewed proposals. The beamline is included in the <http://www.biostruct-x.eu/> Biostruct-X funding program for transnational beam time access within EU. In order to apply, please register at the Alba User Office Application (http://useroffice.cells.es <http://useroffice.cells.es/> ). Application deadline is November 4, 2013, for the period April-December, 2014. You can find information about the beamline at <http://www.cells.es/Beamlines/XALOC> http://www.cells.es/Beamlines/XALOC Experimental setup includes: * In-vacuum undulator IVU21, 2-m long in a 3-GeV storage ring. * Tuneable energy range 5.5-21 keV, DE/E = 2×10-4 * Full beam size 50×7 µm2 (h×v, FWHM) Larger vertical beam size with same flux upon request * Vertical beam divergence <0.1µrad * Pilatus 6M detector * Microdiffractometer (MD2), with optional Mini-kappa goniometer MK3. * Automatic sample changer (CATS), 90 sample storage capacity (SPINE pin compatibility) * Bruker AXS X-Flash fluorescence detector * Common MX software installed Best regards, Jordi Juanhuix Gibert Experiments Division, CELLS-ALBA Synchrotron Carretera BP 1413, de Cerdanyola a Sant Cugat, km 3,3 E-08290 Cerdanyola del Vallès, Barcelona Tel: (+34) 93 592 43 22 www.cells.es <http://www.cells.es/>
