Title of your proposal for FLASH beamlines

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.

Indicate if the proposal is a resubmission (refer to original proposal number(s)) and highlight changes compared to last submission, in particular when specifically reacting to last time’s PRP comments.

& 2. max. 2 pages)

3. Results of previous own work relating to this proposal (0.5 pages)

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 of proposed experiment at FLASH (0.5-1 pages)

a) Justification of parameters/instrument requested

- explain why the requested parameters and/or instruments are required for 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) specific technical requirements

- describe your experimental setup
- indicate what kind of additional equipment you will bring
- identify experimental or technical difficulties to be expected (if applicable e.g. bulky or complex installations, high magnetic fields etc.)

e) planned experimental collaborations with other groups

- e.g. use of the same sample chamber, personnel, detector, …

f) possible start of the experiment(s)

5. Results expected and their impact (1 page)

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

6. References related to the proposal scientific text
References should only appear here. If citations are being used in the proposal text, they should refer to references listed here. References should be consecutively numbered using this format:
