Beamtime is split into two 6-months allocation periods corresponding to spring and autumn calls for proposals.

The spring call (deadline for proposal submission: 1st of April) is for experiments to be performed from September of the same year till February the following year.
The autumn call (deadline for proposal submission: 1st of October) is for experiments to be performed from March till August of the following year.

The next call for proposal will be announced in September this year. The deadline will be 1 October 2020.

Scientists from Poland and abroad will be able to apply for beamtime on:

• the PEEM end station (a photoemission electron microscope)
• the XAS end station (X-ray absorption spectroscopy)
• the UARPES end station (ultra angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy)
• the Titan Krios G3i cryo-electron microscope.

Beamtime applications are submitted through the user portal Digital User Office (DUO).

We strongly recommend discussing the feasibility of planned experiments with the responsible beamline scientist prior to the submission of a proposal, in particular, if you are a new user.
Access to SOLARIS is free of charge for all non-proprietary research. User groups from outside Poland may apply for a reimbursement of travel costs (thanks to the CALIPSOPlus project).

Before applying you should read the Terms and conditions of use of the research infrastructure of the SOLARIS National Synchrotron Radiation.
