Objective
The EC Pulsed Muon Facility is the most powerful in the world and uses muons produced by a set of graphite targets placed in the 800 MeV extracted proton beam of the ISIS spallation neutron source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). The first single beamline was constructed in 1986-87 with resources provided by the EC Stimulation Programme together with equivalent contributions from interested scientific groups in France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and the United Kingdom. A vibrant European-wide scientific programme in condensed matter science using pulsed muons soon emerged and within 3 years a further proposal to enhance the scientific capability of the facility was approved as part of the Community Large Installation Plan (1989-1992). The prime objectives of this upgrade were to increase the number of beamlines to three and to establish a EC Muon Uses Programme for scientists from the member states wishing to exploit the power of muon techniques in their research. This has been accomplished and more than 300 muon instrument-days have been awarded to over 30 scientific groups new to muons in the LIP Programme to date. This contract terminates on July 31, 1995 and the present proposal requests funds so that the EC muon community built up at ISIS over the last 4 years can continue to function and benefit from earlier investments. The current EC Users Programme provides more than a hundred muon instrument-days for alpha-quality peer-reviewed experiments each year. The majority of the experiments do not have an alternative means of accessing ISIS, this this proposal seeks support to provide 80 muon instrument-days per annum to be restricted to EC researchers from outside the U.K. To enhance the European base of muon scientists we also propose to organise two Muon Training Courses for researchers new to muon techniques during the period of the contract.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
