- Digital ESS and ILL user meeting - registration open - Sept 23-25, 2020 on: http://www.neutrons4europe.com/
- Important information for ILL users
Dear Colleague,
We are back in business at the ILL. Activities gradually resume on the site.
Staff are progressively coming back to work on site – about 150 people this week – to work on specific projects, like the second protein crystallography station, DALI, the installation of the H4 beam tube and key reactor maintenance, which must be completed this year, as well as prepare for the next reactor cycle.
Most staff however are still working from home.
The next reactor cycle will start on 11 August and will be scheduled assuming that users cannot come to ILL.
Experiments from the last two proposal rounds, for which samples can be sent and handled by ILL staff, will be given priority.
New software tools for remote instrument control and data treatment will be trialled during this cycle.
We will monitor the situation with respect to users being able to come to ILL for these experiments, which will depend mainly on travel conditions in Europe and the number of people that can be hosted on site.
Next reactor cycles:
- 11 August until 28 September (49 days).
- Three cycles in 2021 before the long shutdown
Autumn 2020 proposal round:
- Proposal deadline: 15 September 2020 (midnight central European time)
- Subcommittee meetings: 3-4 November 2020
- Scientific Council: 5-6 November 2020
- Accepted proposals will be scheduled in Spring 2021.
- Some new statistics concerning Czech participation in ILL are now available in the Research Infrastructure tab
The partnership of CR in ILL in 2020 is financed by the project INTER-TRANSFER "Institut Laue-Langevin - participation of the Czech Republic".
In the ackowledgement of your papers we recommend a statement:
The work was supported within the project LTT20014 financed by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, Czech Republic.

Experimental proposals are submitted usually twice a year (February and October). Experimental reports can be submitted immediately after the experiment, but not later than 1 year after the experiment.
New proposals and reports are submitted via the web application:
- standart proposals to ILL -ENTER THE USER SYSTEM
The next deadline for propsal submission is February 14, 2017 - long stay project for PhD/postdoc to ILL - the on-line form find just on this site, but user has to be login into the Intranet (find Intranet login form on the bottom of this page). If you don't have the account yet, please follow this link: Create account
