SPring-8/SACLA Users Office

27th May 2020

COVID-19 is currently spreading around the world, and overcoming it is an urgent issue. Research on this virus is ongoing worldwide, but the effects of the infection have also hindered the activities of some research facilities.

SACLA will offer beamtime for research aiming to address scientific questions related to COVID-19. There is an open call for SACLA Urgent Proposals (newly established). Even in the suspended period of user operations, COVID-19 research proposals will be accepted as SACLA Urgent Proposals.

If you are given beamtime during the restricted period of visiting, please consider an experimental plan where only project team members who work in SPring-8/SACLA carry out on-site measurements on samples prepared by a Project Leader.

If you are interested, please contact SPring-8 Users Office sacla.jasri@spring8.or.jp for details.
