Title of your LONG-TERM PROJECT for a PETRA III beamline

Scientific background

Please give a brief description of the general and scientific background of your proposal.

Motivation for the proposal

Please give a concise and clear description of your long-term project (LTP) and its overall aim.

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.

3. Own previous work at PETRA III

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

4. Description of the project

a) reasons for LTP application

- explain your need for an LTP

- delineate the contribution of the suggested proposal to the strategic goals of DESY Photon Science/PETRA III and the resulting benefits for the beamline and its user community

b) experimental and technical details and requirements

- explain why the requested beamline is especially suitable for your project
- justify the requested number of beamtime shifts

- describe technical/experimental setups specific to your project and the related experiments
- delineate any need for specific sample environments, high magnetic fields etc.
- identify experimental or technical difficulties to be expected (e.g., very low count rate, difficult adjustment)

- indicate whether you intend to bring your own equipment. Give a description (if applicable)

- describe data acquisition and processing schemes specific to your experiment (if applicable)

- describe computing resources to be provided by DESY; e.g. total amount of data expected in GigaByte, maximum throughput in GigaBytes per second

5. Safety related issues
- list all possible safety aspects related to the technical development (e.g., pressure cells, lasers….)

- list all possible safety aspects related to the samples measured during the LTP (toxic or radioactive substances, etc.) if applicable

- 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.

6. Milestones and resources

a) Milestones

- specify the milestones of your project over the 2 years’ period

- delineate how you intend to distribute the shifts over the 2 years’ project period (i.e. over the 4 beamtime blocks)

- delineate the prospects of success of your project

b) Investments

- specify the capital expenditures planned within this LTP

c) Personnel

- explain whether or not personnel involved in the LTP have to be accommodated for a longer period on the DESY campus

- specify your plans and requirements of collaboration with the beamline staff
