SINQ is an open access neutron source and is fully open to both the national and the international user community. Beam time applications for SINQ are highly welcome. They should only be submitted through the Digital User Office DUO. Beam time allocation will be based on the recommendations of the external SINQ Scientific Committee.
If you need any further information please don't hesitate to contact the PSI User Office.
The services of SINQ are normally free of charge for user groups from universities and research laboratories. A prerequisite for the charge-free admission to external users is the readiness to publish the scientific results in internationally accepted journals, giving proper credit to SINQ staff members involved in the experiments as well as proper mention of the SINQ facilities. For more information please have a look at the SINQ publication policy.
In addition, a written report has to be submitted within 6 months of your the experiment. When you submit a continuation of a proposal please indicate the proposal number of the previous proposal and check if the report on the previous experiment has been submitted.
