CALL FOR PROPOSALS for beam time at MAX-lab, Lund, Sweden.
Researchers using synchrotron radiation are invited to submit proposals
for beam time for experiments to be carried out during the time period
July 2009 to June 2010.
The available facilities include beamlines for MX and SAXS, see below.
Information on how to prepare and submit proposals as well as
descriptions of the other experimental facilities available at MAX-lab
can be found at http://www.maxlab.lu.se
It is also possible to apply for Fast Access MX beam time at any time
though it is recommended to submit normal proposals if possible.
*** The proposal deadline is March 20th, 2009 ***

MACROMOLECULAR CRYSTALLOGRAPHY
Beam time for macromolecular crystallography is available at:
* Beamline I911-2: Fixed-wavelength (1.04 Å): 165mm marccd, mardtb,
marccs sample changer
* Beamline I911-3: Tunable 0.7-2.0 Å, suitable for MAD/SAD: 225mm
marmosaic, kappa goniostat, semi-automatic crystal centering, Roentec
fluorescence detector
* Beamline I911-5: Fixed-wavelength (0.91 Å): 165mm marccd, mardtb
All beamlines are equipped with user-friendly data collection software.
For more information, see the beamline web site:

SAXS
Beam time is also available at the SAXS station at beamline I711. This
recently developed low background set-up offers the possibility to
measure in a q range down to 0.007 Å-1 depending on the chosen sample to
detector distance. The set-up is further described at:

ACCESSIBILITY AND SUPPORT
MAX-lab is situated in Lund, 50 km or 30 minutes by car from Copenhagen
airport (with less than 2 hour flights from e.g. London, Paris,
Strasbourg, Munich, Budapest, Helsinki,...). Trains leave the airport
every 20 to 40 minutes (44 minutes to Lund).
Users from EU countries and associated states can apply for financial
support through the project "Integrating Activity on Synchrotron and
Free Electron Laser Science (IA-SFS)" within the Sixth Framework
Programme (more information can be found in the beam time application
instructions).
