Dear All,

The deadline for user proposals for PX beamtime at the ALS has been
extended to September 3, 5pm pacific time.

See my previous email for details.

Thanks

Peter

> The deadline for general user proposals for PX beamtime at the ALS is
> comming up soon! At the BCSB, we have 5 beamlines for which you can

> (BCSB) we have recently completed a number of upgrades:
>
> Sector 8:  Recent improvements include:
>
>    * A high-accuracy microdiffractometer on BL 8.2.1, allowing for
> centering and viewing of very small crystals
>    * Robot automounters which can increase the screening throughput
> at the beamlines, and will allow for the implementation of remote data
> collection
>    * A new large format (315mm active surface area) CCD detector on
> BL 8.2.1, facilitating data collection on large unit cell crystals
>
> Sector 5:  Beamlines (5.0.1 and 5.0.3) now generate 1.5x10^11 photons
> per second at 0.97 Angstrom. This wavelength is slightly above the Se
> K edge making them ideal for performing Se SAD experiments. Beamline
> 5.0.2 (the tunable beamline) generates a peak flux of 8x10^11 photons
> per second, and the energy range of 5.0.2 has been extended to 17 keV,
> enabling the routine use of shorter wavelengths and anomalously
> scattering elements such as bromine.

> (Please note that executed user agreements must be received by LBNL
