The proprietary time-designated proposal program is intended for users wishing to conduct proprietary research at their preferred time. Proposals can be submitted at any time, and submitted proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis. Any confidential information received or acquired during the measurements will be kept confidential; you have no obligation to disclose your application details or research results. In addition, you\/your organization is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire right, title and interest in and to the research results obtained through the use of the program and any resulting patent or other forms of intellectual property. Please note that users are charged the beamtime fee: 720,000 yen\/shift (regular fee + 50% premium). (See 3\uff0eFees<\/a>.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Among the Proprietary Time-Designated Proposals, a newly established program, the hour-based use proposal program, provides users in the early stages of their research with a convenient opportunity to use SPring-8 to confirm the usefulness or to examine measurement conditions. It can also be used to obtain additional data after the experiment.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1\uff0eBeamlines and Beamtime Available to Users<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All 26 public beamlines are available<\/a>. However, hour-based use may designate particular equipments or measurement methods. Please refer to 2. Base Unit of Beamtime Use<\/a> table 1. If you would like to use the RIKEN beamlines available for public use, please contact the SPring-8 Users Office of JASRI. When uncertain about the suitable beamline for your proposal, the Beamline Scientist can consult you appropriately. Please send an inquiry (See 4.1<\/a>).\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Since the time-designated proposals beamtime is arranged after fixing the beamtime for other types of proposals, please check the schedule with the Beamline Scientist beforehand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/a>2\uff0eBase Unit of Beamtime Use<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Beamtime has two types of base units of use; shift-based use and hour-based use. You can choose to use the beamtime by shift (one shift is 8 hours) or by the hour, depending on the beamline. Please note that only shift-based use is available for more than four hours of beamtime.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The fees summed up by Beamtime Fee and User Fees will be charged after the experiment. We do not support the issuance of advance quotations. Please calculate by the number of required beamtime with the following formula. (See\uff1a”Fees for Beamline Use for Proposals<\/a>“)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
