User Access Programme

LLB (UMR12 CEA-CNRS)

ORGANIZATION OF THE USERS ACCESS PROGRAMME

To perform an experiment, the researcher must submit a proposal on a special form where he specifies his scientific interest and describes the proposed experiment.

Deadlines for submission are : 1^st April and 1^st October of each year.

The proposals are examined and selected by a peer review international Selection Panel composed of experts (in the majority external to LLB) which meets every 6 months. It is divided into 4 subpanels :

Physical chemistry and biology
Structural studies and phase transitions
Magnetism and superconductivity
Disordered systems and materials science.

Among those selected on the basis of scientific merit, experiments to be taken in charge by HPRI are chosen on the following criteria :

new users

experiments involving PhD thesis (or post-docs)

countries with no neutron facilities.

When projects, recommended by the peer review international Selection Panel to be taken in charge by the HPRI Programme, have been approved by the E.C. Commission :

Access is provided free of charge for the selected user teams
Travel and subsistence up to two users may be reimbursed by the programme.

After the experiment, the user team must send a written experimental report, and reprints of the related publication(s). The experimental reports and list of publications are published in the LLB scientific activity report.

In the LLB, the users obtain the necessary scientific support to prepare, perform and interpret their experiments. The involvement of the local contact depends on a preliminary informal agreement with the users to decide whether there will be a formal collaboration and common publication, or basic instrumental and data analysis support only.
