We are pleased to announce that the call for proposals for the Catalysis Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering (QENS) BAG at ISIS is open.
We are keen to encourage users with no experience of QENS and will provide support throughout the process. QENS is a powerful tool in catalysis research, although currently underused. To reduce the barrier to entry, proposals will be assessed by an internal Hub panel with a lighter touch than that required for a direct proposal to ISIS.
The criteria used to assess these applications will be:
- Previous experience with the technique (with priority given to new users)
- Scientific merit
- Feasibility
- Maximising efficiency
Time will be regularly allocated on the IRIS QENS spectrometer for Catalysis Hub affiliates. Widening the user base on B18 has been one of the great successes of the Diamond BAG. We hope to do the same with QENS at ISIS.

A Call for proposals is now open and will close 4th July at 12.00 noon. Please note the experiment will be in the August – October cycle with dates TBC.
To submit a proposal, please fill out the Form (here).
If you have any queries please contact Hub Manager Dr Josie Goodall josie.goodall@rc-harwell.ac.uk and use the Subject line QENS BAG
