Objective
Description:
ISIS is the word's most intense source of pulsed muons for condensed matter investigations, and is the only pulsed muon source within the EC. Muon Spin Rotation or Relaxation experiments are carried out on two permanently installed spectrometers, MuSR and EMU, and there is in addition a development beamline, DEVA, used for advancing new techniques. Muons provide a powerful probe of the structure and dynamics of materials, with applications of the technique including investigation of magnetic, superconducting, metallic, semiconducting, ion-conducting, amorphous and molecular materials.
The ISIS Pulsed Muon Facility was completed in 1994 following the award of a contract under EC Framework Programme 2; this contract also established a Muon Users Programme for EC researchers. Access for European scientists has continued under Framework Programmes 4 and 5, the latter providing for a total of 95 days of access for European scientists on the ISIS muon instruments.
Application:
EC researchers wishing to use the Facility can apply as part of the normal ISIS procedure for beamtime applications. This requires the completion of the ISIS Beamtime Application Form; there are two calls for experimental proposals in April and October each year. Electronic versions of the application form are available on the World Wide Web (http://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/muons/(opens in new window)). Proposals are selected by the ISIS Muon Scheduling Panel, which meets twice per year and is composed of international experts in muon science. The proposals chosen by the Panel are submitted to the IHP management team in Brussels for approval into the Access Programme. Once approval has been granted, proposals are put into the normal ISIS scheduling procedures.

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.
