Neutron beams and instrument facilities are provided free of charge to proposers of accepted experiments under certain conditions, detailed hereafter.

Scientists affiliated to laboratories in ILL member countries may be assisted with travel and daily subsistence for a limited period.  Scientists affiliated to laboratories in ILL interim member countries (ie Denmark) are not eligible for reimbursement.

Normally one scientist per laboratory is reimbursed; up to a maximum of two persons per experiment.

On instruments with very 'user-demanding' experiments (e.g. D11, D17, D20, D22, PN1), additional people can be reimbursed.

In some cases, this may also apply to other experiments when SCO has authorised it.

Payment of extra days for installing special equipment or preparing samples may be authorised by SCO if requested beforehand. In general, extended stays for data treatment are not reimbursed.

For any special requests please contact SCO before arrival. Block allocation gives the users the choice of their experiment, but does not include reimbursement of additional people.

Reactor users from the Grenoble region are not eligible for reimbursement. Users with beamtime for CRG, Test, Internal and Industrial experiments are not eligible for reimbursement.

A specific procedure has been set up for users from India (see bottom of page).

The UK maintains an additional budget line for users affiliated to a UK lab and based in the UK. Requests require justification and authorisation by SCO.

Please refer to the following for more detailed information applying to users eligible for reimbursement:
