Beam Time Allocation
The Allocation Committee meets twice per year to determine which General User proposals will be allocated beam time based on the scientific merit rankings from the Peer Review Committee and also determines the amount of time to be allocated to each proposal.
Prior to the allocation meeting, each group (purchased access, the beamline team member, beamline maintenance/upgrades and the beamline scientist) identifies if the full percentage of beam time identified in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is required for the upcoming period. If the full percentage is not required, then these shifts are returned to the Executive Director and/or Director or Research to reassign at their discretion.
The Allocation Committee includes:
- CLS Director of Research
- Associate Director of Research for Industrial Science
- CLS Beamline Scientists
- User Services Administrator
- or any designee of the above
See Applying for Beam Time for each of the access mechanisms.
