In addition to normal proposals, there is an opportunity to apply for Fast Access (FA) beamtime at FlexPES. We currently offer two FA modes of operation:
- Sample Feasibility (SF) FA mode is intended for testing the feasibility of a sample or experimental approach. It is particularly useful for new users preparing full proposals for a future call. This mode is currently limited to a maximum of 2 shifts (8 hours) of beamtime per proposal.
- Standard Measurement Service (SMS) FA mode is intended for cases where a crucial data subset from a previous beamtime is missing, incomplete, or unreliable, and is needed to complete a manuscript. This mode is also limited to 2 shifts (8 hours).
We highly recommend contacting the beamline staff before submitting any FA proposal, whether SF or SMS.
