Submission of a standard research proposal

Standard applications for beamtime must be made via the Electronic Proposal Submission system (EPS). Please note that we will no longer accept paper, e-mailed or faxed templates. Proposals can be submitted to the ILL twice a year, before the deadlines in February and September, by logging on to the Visitors Club.
Please read the detailed guidelines before submitting a proposal via the EPS system. Here are some hints for writing your proposals.

• Technical form

The technical form can be attached to a proposal to specify details for sample environment equipment supplied by the user. Read the  Guidelines for more information.

Please note that before submitting your file via the web you must:

• remove the first page containing the guidelines
• save your document as a postscript file

Templates
techf_00.doc	Microsoft Word 6 or 95 or higher for Windows and Word for Macintosh 98 or higher
techf_00.mac	Microsoft Word for  Macintosh (5.1)
ILLTechForm.tex , ILLTechForm.sty	Latex files (download both)

•  Experimental reports

Requests for further beamtime must always be accompanied by a report on previous measurements. The lack of an experimental report attached to a continuation proposal can lead to rejection.
All ILL experimental reports are now software-archived and accessible via the web server as PDF files. Experimental reports must be submitted on the web via the Visitors Club after having logged in with your personal ID.
Experimental reports uploaded via the web are made available immediately after reception.

When preparing your report, please follow the instructions.
