After you've submitted a proposal
- Many beamlines are oversubscribed, even by a factor of 2
- oversubscription = (requested days ) / (available days)
- You may not get beamtime every time.
- You may get less time than you ask for.
- Don’t panic: it will become easier.
- Once you are in the system, it is in everyone's interest for you to have a successful experiment and to publish your results.
- Most of the hints in this tutorial work for getting beamtime at other synchrotron and neutron facilities in the US and abroad.
One you publish your results of work at NSLS, submit your publication to the publications database. Everyone benefits when you share your success in this way!
