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 2010 to June 2011.
The available facilities include beamlines for MX and SAXS, see below.
Please note that the tunable station I911-3 will be upgraded during 2010
with a completely new experimental set-up including a EMBL/ESRF
microdiffractometer and a CATS sample changing robot.
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.
It is not possible to submit block allocation proposals for MX this year
(ie all groups with block allocations do not need to resubmit this year).
*** The proposal deadline is March 12th, 2010 ***

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 detector, Roentec fluorescence detector.
The new experimental set-up with a microdiffractometer will be available
for the coming period. The CATS sample changing robot will be
commissioned during the autumn 2010 and is expected to come in user
operation during autumn.
* Beamline I911-5: Fixed-wavelength (0.91 Å): 165mm marccd, mardtb
All beamlines are equipped with user-friendly data collection software.

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).
