Direct access to the proposal form to be sent to by April 1st.

Spring news :

· A new entity called “Fédération de Recherche” is in the process to be setup. One of its goal will be the simplification of the access to the neutron scattering instruments operated by French laboratories.

· In Saclay, Orphée will operate only 120 days this year and only 15 instruments will be fully available to users

· If you would like to do small angle scattering think to the possibility of using TPA to extend your Q range towards low Q.

· If we still accept proposal in French, we encourage users to submit in English and use the new proposal form.
