Title of your regular proposal for a PETRA III beamline

Scientific background

Please describe the scientific background of your proposal.

Motivation for the proposal

Please give a concise and clear description of the project and the overall aim of the experiment.

In case the proposal is a resubmission please indicate changes compared to the last submission, in particular when specifically reacting to last time’s PRP comments.

Own previous work at PETRA III

Briefly summarize previous own work which is relevant to this proposal, especially work done at DESY and/or other light source facilities (if applicable).

4. Experimental plan

a) Justification of beamline requested

- explain why the requested beamline and/or instrument especially fit your requirements
b) Justification of beamtime requested

- explain why you need the requested number of shifts

c) samples & safety related issues

- give a brief description of the samples to be studied (size, composition, quality)
- in case of biological samples explain from which organism it was derived and how the samples were prepared. State the full name of the species/strain/cell line and indicate the risk level according to DIRECTIVE 2000/54/EC. Genetic engineering at levels S3 and S4 is not allowed at DESY.
- list all possible safety aspects (e.g., dangerous, toxic or radioactive substances, pressure cells, lasers…).

d) technical information (if applicable)

- describe experimental set-ups specific to your experiment
- indicate whether you intend to bring your own equipment
- explain any need for specific sample environments, high magnetic fields, lasers etc.
- identify experimental or technical difficulties to be expected (e.g., very low count rate, difficult adjustment)

5. Results expected and their impact

Clearly describe what information you expect to obtain from the experiment and what would be the scientific relevance of the results.
