Proposal information

Typical discussions about new experiments will involve:

  • the overall aims of the project
  • any background supporting measurements, such as “off-line” FTIR or UV-vis spectroscopy
  • which technical requirements you need from the instruments, including techniques, wavelengths and other specific requirements
  • what safety considerations need to be managed
  • discussing how you will interpret and support the experimental results to achieve impactful science
  • your sample requirements
  • what support you may need with data analysis

Sample information

Discussions around samples will include:

  • How samples will be prepared? Are there air sensitivity issues or temperature control requirements?
  • How samples will be presented to the lasers and what kind of cells are required?
  • How samples will behave in the laser, such as how to manage photo-damage, heating?

 

Data Analysis as a Service (DAaaS)

During the experiment data will be stored locally and backed up in STFC’s Scientific Computing Department. Providing easy access to the data from any location via STFC’s Data Analysis as a Service. This service allows researchers to download or analyse the data using virtual machines hosed at STFC.
