Updated : 21-08-2017 Indian scientists who are interested to make use of this facility are required to submit scientific proposals which will be evaluated by an expert committee in India and subsequently beamtime will be allotted depending on the scientific merit of the proposal and availability of beamtime. For each accepted proposal, a maximum of two users will be supported for traveling to Indian Beamline, Photon Factory and living expenses from the project fund. There will be two deadlines for receiving the proposals in a year, viz., 15th June and 15th December |
[a] One page bio-data of the Principal Investigator (PI) who will submit the proposal should be attached with the proposal. [b] Proposals need to be submitted in the prescribed format by sending e-mail to This email address is being protected from spambots.
