Dates of call for proposals, deadlines and details of submission and dates meetings

The deadline for submitting proposals and Letters of Intent:

In general the deadline for submission is 6 weeks before a meeting of the ISOLDE and Neutron Time-of-Flight Experiments Committee (INTC). In certain cases, this deadline may be 4 weeks before the meeting. Details on the upcoming meetings and deadlines are available here

Submission procedure:

All documents for the INTC have to be submitted via the following interface: http://cdsweb.cern.ch/submit?doctype=INTC2

The document templates can be downloaded here.

The proposals must have at least one spokesperson from an ISOLDE Collaboration member institution, in a country that has signed the ISOLDE MoU with CERN. You can find the list of institutes from member states of the ISOLDE collaboration ( as outlined in Annex 4 of the ISOLDE MoU) here. Certain institutes, that are not from an ISOLDE member state, have signed a special collaboration agreement with the collaboration which allows their employees to act as sole experiment spokespersons. A list of these institutes can be found here.

Persons from non-member countries/institutes are welcome to apply for beamtime, provided their request is supported by a co-spokesperson from a member country/institute.

Before submitting a proposal, contact must be made with the collaboration running a particular experimental set-up if its use is required by a proposal.

In order to assure proper planning and efficient use of the ISOLDE targets, the information on beam isotope, intensities, target material and ion sources and number of required shifts has to be included in experiment proposals, following the example reported here.

For more details, see the link and also the official INTC website.
