ISIS news, events, instrument updates and information on how to apply for beamtime for users who wish to submit a proposal in the next round.


Next proposal round closing date: 16 October 2016, 23:00 GMT

This call for proposals covers beamtime that will be allocated from February 2017 to September 2017.

Instrument updates

TOSCA will be open for experimental proposals to be submitted in this October’s proposal round, after previously not accepting proposals in April 2016 due to the installation of the neutron guide.

LOQ has now been equipped with a beamstop-mounted transmission monitor (cf. SANS2D), meaning that for most samples it will now be possible to measure scattering patterns and transmission data simultaneously. For a typical sample changer experiment it is anticipated this will ‘save’ 2 hours beam time each day.
