Next call for proposals: 16 October 2010 for beamtime from February/ March 2011
ISIS neutron and muon instruments are free to use for academic researchers, provided that scientific findings from experiments at ISIS are published in the public domain.
For each experiment at ISIS, a beam time proposal outlining the scientific case must be submitted.
ISIS scientists and the User Office can help you with your beam time proposal and all ISIS users receive a high level of support during experiments. We are constantly encouraging new areas of research using neutrons and muons that can flourish at ISIS and new users are always welcome.
UK private sector researchers can use ISIS provided the research is in collaboration with an academic partner from a UK university or public sector research organisation. Standard peer review of the proposal applies and results must be published in the open literature.
We offer a range of ways to request beam time on ISIS instruments: Direct access, Rapid access, Xpress access, Commercial Access and Programme access.
Beam time allocations at ISIS are highly prized and in great demand. A clearly written proposal for an experiment at ISIS can set you apart from the crowd and greatly increase the chances that the Facility Access Panels will recommend you get allocated beam time. We give you hints and tips on writing the perfect proposal.
ISIS has a limited amount of funding available each round to support experiments for researchers from EU countries.
An experimental report must be completed for each experiment made at ISIS once it has been completed.
Guidence for publications.
Consumables for ISIS experiments
