Proposal for Access to Service-Experimental Proposal- Training Science of ISIS@MACH

Scientific Background and Context

You may wish to include:

A short description of the general science area and why it is interesting and timely. What is the wider relevance or impact of your work? Keep in mind that not all review panel members are experts in the field.
How this proposal fits into your wider research programme
How your wider research programme is supported (mention grants, students, links with industry, fellowships, etc. It is fine to refer back to information on grants, etc, which you have provided in the online proposal system).
Say how this proposal relates to your grant funding described above.

You may wish to include:

The aims of the experiment – what do you hope to learn, what outcomes you expect, why these are important.
Why neutrons or muons are needed – what unique information will they give you that you can’t get from other techniques.
Results from any modelling or simulations you have performed.
How you will analyse your data to get the information which you need.

If this is a continuation experiment, or if you have had access ISIS@MACH to demonstrate the suitability of your samples, summarise your conclusions from your previous beamtime. Proposals should be self-contained – whilst you may have provided results from previous beamtime in an Experiment Report, there should be sufficient information with the proposal for panels to assess how previous beamtime has been used.
If you have used other techniques to characterise your samples, summarise these results. FAPs are keen to see use of other techniques to ensure sample quality and suitability.

Say why you have requested the specific instrument.
Justify the length of time you have requested – break the experiment down into the measurements you expect to do, the samples you will study and any setup time required.
