X26A Beamtime Schedule

OK You Have Beam Time! What You Need to Do Now:
OK, as always, it's most helpful if you can let us know ahead of time what your run requirements are. More specifically what energy range are you interested in working at (any white beam runs must be OK'd with me well before your arrival), do you require any special analytical resources (for example if you’ll require wet lab space), will you be bringing additional equipment, etc.? If you're not sure please ask. If I don't know these things beforehand you'll lose more time in initial setup than you would otherwise. Also please (PLEASE) remember that there are a number of issues that must be arranged by YOU before your arrival, some of these are described in the "Information for Users" section and include Experimental Safety Approval Forms, Foreign National's Approval, Gate Access, Radiation Safety Training upon your arrival, and on site housing. 

As usual, unless otherwise noted on our web page (for example if your run begins at noon it will say so on our schedule) assume we'll begin your run (including set-up time unless other arrangements are made) at 9am. Also assume that you can run until the 7am fill the next morning. This is true unless it says otherwise on the webpage.  For example if your run ends at noon it will say so on our schedule, i.e. after your name it may say 'Studies (noon)'. All your equipment must be gone by 9am that morning if there is another user scheduled. If there's any confusion about this let me know.
