Beamtime at BESSY II
When you are planning an experiment at BESSY II we recommend to contact the BESSY II User Coordinators (see box on the right) as early as possible. The BESSY II services include assessment of the feasibility of the intended project, scientific-technical consulting and help in contacting competent partners within the BESSY II user community.
For detailed information about beamlines and experimental chambers and for test experiments, please contact the individual contact persons listed in the Beamlines & Stations section or the BESSY II User Coordinators.
Beamtime Application
Beamtime Application is described in Detail in the General User Info section of this homepage.
Please note:
Besides complying with general safety rules of a large laboratory, potential users must ensure that the measuring equipment also fulfils certain requirements which depend, at least in part, on the beamline used. Most importantly the measuring station has to be operated under such conditions that an impairment of the beamline and storage ring vacuum is prevented. In general, this means the station itself runs under ultra high vacuum conditions. Furthermore, one may use either so-called common facilities, which are operated under the responsibility of a user group, or measuring equipment which belongs to BESSY. The use of equipment must be coordinated with the scientists responsible for the equipment.
