We kindly invite new MX-proposals for beamtime applications for the next
beamtime period.

In order to apply for beamtime, please register at the HZB on-line
access tool "BOAT" (http://www.bessy.de/boat/<http://www.bessy.de/boat/www/>) and submit a new
beamtime application proposal.  HZB provides
beamtime at the MX-beamlines 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3. The requested beamtime is
granted based on the reviewed proposal and reports from previous
research activities. Reported results from previous beamtimes stated in the
"Experimental Reports" form will affect the chances for future beamtimes significantly.
Please make sure to include them if available.
