DO NOT CHANGE PROPOSAL FORMAT-

Changes in the prescribed format will lead to rejection of the proposal

Instructions:

Title of your proposal for PETRA III beamline P08, P11, P22, P23, & P24

If you request consideration of the scientific impact for the peer-review:

Select “Scientific impact” as headline of paragraph 1.

If you request consideration of immediate socio-economic impact for the peer-review:

Select “Immediate Socio-Economic Impact” as headline of paragraph 1.

Your proposal has to fulfill at least one of the following criteria:

Presentation of a robust and credible exploitation plan of your product.

Presentation of a summary, proving that this project is required for preparation of a startup company.

Presentation of a summary proving that the subject of this proposal has a minimum technical readiness level of 4. Click here for more information

Elaborate details under paragraph 1. Immediate socio-economic Impact

1. Scientific impact or Immediate socio-economic impact (select one)

briefly describe the scientific background

state clearly what you intend to do & why you intend to do this

reference any prior characterizations and preliminary findings

outline expected scientific results and its impact

If you request consideration of socio-economic impact, describe the impact of your proposal in terms of the socio-economic environment.

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

2. Experimental plan

a) Detailed Experimental plan

How do you intend to do the proposed experiment? e.g. describe the technique to be used; specific in situ / operando aspects; required time/spatial/energy resolution if applicable; detector type and geometry etc.

b) Justification of beamline & beamtime requested

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

explain why you need the requested number of shifts, e.g. by an experimental plan (consult with beamline staff before submission; unreasonable shift request may delay the process)

explain your need for multiple beamtimes, planned breakdown of shifts (if you want to divide the approved shifts into multiple beamtimes)

c) Requirements for 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

d) Personnel & collaboration
Explain the role of the collaborators/co-proposers, if applicable. Pleases note that co-proposers can only be added formally to the proposals after acceptance.

e) Samples & safety related issues

Give a brief description of the samples to be studied (size, composition, quality).

Please check “Any sample and safety-related concerns” in the DOOR application form with “yes” if any of the following aspects apply:

mention all applicable safety aspects (e.g. dangerous, toxic, explosive, flammable or reactive substances and gases, radioactive samples, biological agents BSL1 or BSL2)

in case of biological agents explain from which organism it was derived (full name of the species/strain/cell line) and how the samples were prepared. Indicate the risk level according to DIRECTIVE 2000/54/EC (no BSL3 and BSL4 work at DESY)

in case of radioactive samples state the total activity, composition and type (no open substances allowed) and if coming from a balancing zone

f) Technical information if applicable

describe experimental set-ups specific to your experiment

specify expected experimental or technical difficulties (e.g. very low count rate, difficult adjustment)

Please check “Any sample and safety-related concerns” in the DOOR application form with “yes” if any of the following aspects apply for your own equipment:

indicate whether you intend to bring your own equipment and list possible safety aspects. For large equipment give details on dimensions, weight and transport. In case of own lasers state class and if intensity ≥ 1013 W/cm2 (ultrashort pulsed laser)

explain any need for specific sample environments to be provided by the beamline: high magnetic fields, lasers etc.

3. Use of the chemistry laboratory (if applicable)

Explain the intended use, procedure and instruments involved in the chemistry lab.

4. Use of the DESY Nanolab (if applicable)

Explain the intended use of DESY Nanolab and relevance to the proposed beamline.

5. References related to the proposal scientific text

Citations used in the proposal text have to be listed here. References should be consecutively numbered using this format.
