Quick
Project
Goals
|
The recently instituted Quick Project program is a simple mechanism to let crystallographers
working at PXRR bending magnet beamlines transfer worthy projects within a day to the X29
MGU facility with the goal of letting them take best advantage of the combined experimental
capabilities within the PXRR. Quick Project time is part of discretionary beam time at X29
and is scheduled along with development and maintenance activities for a few hours in the morning of
each working day.

Worthy
Projects ...
|
- Require the small and brilliant undulator-derived beam at X29 or its large
ADSC 315 area detector for crystallographic reasons such as small crystal
size (<50 µm), high radiation sensitivity, or large unit cell dimension (>300 Å).
- Utilize a pre-screened crystal that promises to yield a high-quality data set.
- Require just an hour or two of X29 beamtime.

How to
get time
|
Use the flowchart at right.
Whenever possible get in contact early on with
Howard Robinson,
the beamline scientist at X29 to pre-arrange quick access. Check the
X29 schedule
for open time slots. Complete a Quick Project request in the
PXdb.
Contact a PX-operator and request to get BLOSA trained ahead of X29 work.
