Useful Information for Experiments

Please take a look at the following documentation as a help for the preparation of your experiment proposals and preparing for your experiments at BOREASbl@ALBA:

1) BOREAS instrumentation user info for 2014 round.

2) Hector magnet sample holders documentation:

• Standard and transmission sample holders

• "STM-style" sample plate and receptacle for STM and LEED use
  

      (to be updated with standard for in-vacuum loading of traveling samples, others)

Docs and tips for preparing your proposal for BOREAS beamline

• Schedule
• Proposal guidelines
• Proposal form
• Allowed samples, substances regarding vacuum condition
• Basic samples safety guides (non-comprehensive)
