Prepare your proposal, using the template provided below. You are limited to a total collection time of 8 hours and a temperature range of 10-300 K. Please contact instrument staff if you have any questions.
Submit your proposal through IPTS. Be sure to select Mail-In as the proposal type. Mail-in proposals are accepted at any time, independent of the semi-annual general user proposal call.
If your proposal is accepted, you will receive an email with additional information, and empty sample cans will be sent to the address you specified in the proposal.
Load your sample cans, according to the instructions linked below, and fill out the sample loading spreadsheet in IPTS.
Ship the loaded samples and loading spreadsheet back to the address linked to in the notification email.
Your samples will be measured at the first available opportunity, on a first-come, first-served basis.
You will receive an email when data collection is complete. Follow the directions and linked guides on the Powgen User Guidance page to download and analyze your data.
All publications resulting from your Powgen data must include the SNS acknowledgement and should be submitted to the PuSH publication tracking system.
After 30 days, your samples will either be wasted or shipped back to you, based on what you requested in the proposal.
