Before filling out an application ...

On an online application form, please provide the details of:
- power user proposal,
- development/upgrade plans of experimental stations, and
- user support.
Since some of the items required on the application are different from those on general proposal application, instructions for such items are given below. Please follow the instructions below and make sure to enter all the required information. As for the items common to both PU and general proposal applications, please refer to this page.

[Basic Information Page]

Please provide information about your PU proposal.

Choice of Beamline:
Select beamlines that you wish to use for your PU activities: PU proposal, development/upgrading of experimental stations, and user support.

Number of Shifts Required:
Provide the desired number of 8-hour shifts necessary for the conduct of your PU proposal for 2012A.

Unacceptable Dates:
List any dates you are not available to conduct the PU proposal during 2012A.

[Project Team Members Page]

Register the PU group members. The PU group members are defined as
 • those who have a thorough knowledge of measurement techniques of the beamline,
 • those who are expected to contribute to developing academic fields of SR science and technology, and  
 • those who conduct the PU proposal, help develop/upgrade the experimental stations, and provide support for users in cooperation with the PU.
Please do not include in the list those who will participate only in the conduct of the PU proposal (e.g. university students) at the time of application; such members can be added to the list after you are selected as a PU.

[Known Safety Hazards & Measures to Be Taken Page]

Provide information about the PU proposal.

[Abstract Page]

Provide information about the PU proposal.

Provide the progress made regarding the proposed research, the relationship with the proposal(s) approved in the past and with another proposal(s) being applied, if any, and your previous experience with similar experiments:
Give full details of the results you have obtained so far to achieve expected results through the conduct of the PU proposal being submitted and the preparation status of equipment and samples. Also provide the relationship with proposals approved in the past, if any.

[Experimental Details Page]

Provide information about the development of the experimental station and user support as well as the PU proposal.

Experimental details (sketch of setup, measurement method, detector, concentration of samples, etc.):
Provide details of experimental method of the PU proposal for 2012A.

Development/upgrade plans of experimental stations:
Give full details of the development/upgrade plans of experimental stations for 2012A and for five-year designation period. As for the plans of power user proposal, please explain in the abstract page.

Support for general users:
Give details of your plans to expand/promote related areas of research and attract new users, and your user support plans.
