FROM THE DIRECTOR
Changes to the CHESS Proposal System

As discussed at the CHESS Users Meeting, to meet new reporting requirements, we are making changes to CHESS's Proposal system. In essence, CHESS is unifying the proposal submission process by incorporating the on-line submission and reviewing components of the current Express Mode into the existing standard proposal mechanism. Proposals will be active for up to two years or a given amount of beam time (as requested in the proposal and approved by the reviewers), whichever comes first. Users will submit on-line Beam Time Requests against reviewed and rated proposals (submission of the original proposal also serves as the first beam time request). CHESS will continue to accept proposals at any time. However, beam time will be allocated to proposals and beam time requests received before the scheduling deadline 10 weeks before the beginning of a cycle, and late submissions will be accommodated on an as-available basis. CHESS is in the process of preparing the web interface and reviewing the details of the revised proposal system with the Users Executive Committee (UEC) and the External Advisory Committee (EAC). If you have suggestions or concerns, please feel free to contact any UEC member, any CHESS scientist, or me directly.

♦  YOUNG INVESTIGATOR SEMINAR: "The More You Know"

Taking a step toward much-coveted flexible electronics, an international research team that figured out how to coat an organic material as a thin film - like spreading butter on toast - wanted a closer look at why their spreadable organic semiconductor grew like it did... more »
Can x-ray pictures that are almost empty be used to reconstruct physical models? Many forward-thinking scientists at synchrotron and newer free-electron laser x-ray facilities are hoping that someday scientists will be able to determine the structure of a single molecule using x-ray... more »
Imagine walking into a room full of young school children huddled around tables with an adult volunteer, Styrofoam balls being flung intentionally into the air, and students delightedly observing, measuring and recording their results... more »
We have developed a device that combines two functionalities in a compact assembly to measure simultaneously the X-ray beam position and intensity... more »
A new load frame / diffractometer has been commissioned at CHESS for X-ray diffraction experiments on engineering materials during in-situ mechanical testing. The system was designed with flexibility in mind... more »
It is well known that delivery of undistorted laser beams requires superior optics. To a much more demanding degree, delivery of highly coherent ERL x-ray beams from source to experiment requires small wavefront distortion over the whole beam... more »
CHESS has a unique drawing tower facility to fabricate glass capillaries that can be used in a variety of settings to focus or prefocus x-ray beams down to micron-level sizes... more »
