European XFEL
User Access
Typical deadlines: twice a year for standard proposals for beamtime about 6 months later. Special access modes, like Long-Term Proposals and topical calls, have also been launched.
Requirements for the proposal: compelling science case, justifying the specific need for EuXFEL and the instrument. Prior discussions with instrument scientists are mandatory. Proposals are reviewed and ranked by an independent international panel of renowned subject matter experts.

MID is an instrument with a flexible setup optimized for studying structure and dynamics of matter over a wide range of length and timescales. Beam sizes down to below 500 nm are available and the photon detectors allow MHz acquisition rates to exploit the unique burst mode of EuXFEL. |
SCS instrument is a soft X-ray spectroscopy and scattering instrument that provides time-resolved studies of the electronic, spin and lattice structure of materials on femtosecond time scales and nanometer length scales. |
