GasPhase Beamline - Info for Users
Useful info for GAPH users
On Proposal SubmissionWe invite users and collaborators to discuss their proposals with the beamline local contacts well in advance before the submission deadline. This is crucial for a careful assessment of the experiment feasibility and may result in an improvement of the proposal. |
Call for proposals

Access RequestUsers and collaborators coming to Gas Phase Photo Emission for experiments are requested to fill the dedicated Access Request Form. Timing for the submission of the Access Request varies according to Users Categories: General Users, EU Funded Users, Research Team Members and Collaborators must submit their Access Form at least two weeks before the experiment. Italian Users must submit their Access Request form at least one month before the experiment. Note that in order to be able to enter the Elettra Laboratory, your access request must be approved. Instructions for different user categories can be found on the User Office webpages following our quick links. |

Guidelines for Proposal Submission
When to applyThe Call for Proposals deadline occurs twice a year, on March 15 and September 17. However, the exact dates are advertised on this website. Peer Review evaluationThe proposals are reviewed by an independent Panel, the Elettra Proposal Review Panel (PRP), after their feasibility has been assessed by the beamline coordinators. The PRP is composed of experts in various fields of synchrotron radiation research evaluates the scientific merit of the proposals. The main criteria for evaluation are the following: expected impact of the experiments, topicality, probability to produce one or more publications on highly cited scientific journals, potential to help solving important technologically or socially relevant problems, possible development of a new application of synchrotron radiation. |
Feedback from the local contactsIn order to be able to get back to you with feedback on the proposal feasibility, we warmly encourage you to upload your proposal on VUO at least one week before the deadline. Interaction with the local contacts is highly recommended. Don't hesitate to discuss with us the experimental plan in great detail. Experiment feasibility
Read carefully the information on the GasPhase Photoemissione web pages, especially that concerning the beamline energy range and resolution. Proposal objectivesMost importantly, every proposal needs to have clear and achievable goals. This means that the proposal must address a well-focused scientific problem or a debated, unanswered issue in the literature. Preparation work is necessary!It is not recommended to start studying a new system during the proposal, without carrying out the necessary preparation work. |
Modifying our instrumentNew instrumental developments need special and careful preparation. They have to be organized in close coordination with the beamline responsible. FundingIn order to find out the latest news on the financial support options that are available please visit the Elettra User Office web pages. Partial support schemes for Italian users are currently available. A dedicated scheme for non EC members is provided by the ICTP. Unfortunately, EC support is currently unavailable. Submission on VUOProposals must be uploaded and submitted on the Elettra Virtual Unified Office (VUO). Before writing a proposal, you and your collaborators must register on the VUO.
