SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

BL11-2 MEIS XAS Rapid Access Application Form

  • A block of 3-6 shifts of beam time will be set aside periodically for rapid access XAS use on BL11-2. Both new and current users are eligible to apply.
  • Allocation of time will be based on a brief scientific proposal (see below), which will be reviewed by the MEIS subpanel of the SSRL Proposal Review Panel. Rapid access proposals should be submitted by the first of each month, and users will be notified ~2 weeks prior to their allocated beam time.
  • New users scheduled for beam time under a rapid access proposal will be trained by SSRL staff on all aspects of the experimental setup (beam line optics, use of detectors, data collection software). Staff will also advise users on sample preparation and data analysis to help new users efficiently utilize their beam time and prepare them for successful future experiments.

Additional Requirements:
Please note that due to the limited amount of beam time available for Rapid Access, it may not be possible to fully accommodate a user's experimental requirements. However, if there are additional requirements that would further enable the success of your experiment, please use the space provided below to describe those requirements. Please feel free to contact Joe Rogers (jrogers@slac.stanford.edu) for questions and consultation regarding your experiment.
