Abstract
In no more than 100 words of plain language, summarise aims,
significance and expected outcomes. Maximum 100 words
Scientific Purpose, and the Importance of the Proposed Research
Describe the proposed experiment at a level that can be understood by
scientists from a related field, addressing the following points:
· The significance and background of the project: why is it interesting and important?
· The aim of the experiment: what information do you expect to get, and how will it
contribute to your project? This should be the major part of this section.
· Originality of the experiment
· The relationship the proposed experiment has to the ongoing work of your group,
including the status of preliminary experiments
· Student participation, while not a requirement, needs to be tracked: does this work
form part of a Masters/PhD thesis? What is the role of the students involved e.g.
sample preparation, data collection or data analysis?
Maximum 600 words
Proposed Experiment
If in doubt on any aspect please discuss the proposed experiment with the relevant
beamline scientist. This section should include:
· A detailed description of the proposed experimental plan and procedures such that
the review committee and referees can assess the feasibility of the proposed work.
Estimate the time required for each part of the plan. A sketch may help if a nonstandard setup is proposed and/or you are bringing your own equipment.
· Justification of the number of samples you are planning to measure, and the number
of measurements on each e.g. the number of temperature steps you propose.
· An explanation of your estimate of the amount of beam time needed. Include an
estimate of setup time and time required per sample.
Maximum 600 words
Experience of Participants, and outcome of previous ASRP/Australian
Synchrotron Experiments
Please detail the experience of the principal scientist and his/her previous
experiments. Briefly mention experience of other participants. Maximum 600 words
Give a brief description of all participants’ previous experience with synchrotron
radiation and the experimental results obtained. Detail the experience of the Principal
Scientist on this proposal, and list all ASRP and Australian Synchrotron funded
experiments performed during the last three years by the Principal Scientist. Give a
brief (one or two sentence) description of the outcomes, for example list any
publications (including those in preparation), or give the status of data analysis,
whether additional beamtime is needed to allow the research to be published, etc.
The need to use Synchrotron Radiation for this research
· Why is synchrotron radiation required for this research project, ie can't the
experiment be done with laboratory facilities? Describe results from other techniques
if this aids in justifying the use of a synchrotron.
· Explain the choice of beamline/facility for the experiment.
