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

Scientific background

Please describe the scientific background of your proposal.

Motivation for the proposal, expected results and impact

Please give a concise and clear description of the project, the overall aim and expected results of the experiment. Outline the scientific relevance and impact of the expected scientific results.

In case the proposal is a resubmission: Please, indicate changes as compared to the last submission, in particular when addressing PRP comments of the last review.

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. Experimental plan

Describe the following aspects of the planned experiments:

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 users

b) Justification of beamline requested

- explain why the requested beamline and/or instrument especially fit your requirements

- describe the technique to be used (X-ray method, any specific in situ / operando aspects and required time resolution if applicable, detector type and geometry etc.)

c) Justification of requested number of shifts

- explain why you need the requested number of shifts

d) Data handling and computing

- 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

- describe the data analysis strategy, i.e. how to extract the desired information from the measured data

e) 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 they were 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).

f) 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. 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
