EuXFEL - Germany

There is currently no open call for proposals. Since European XFEL had to schedule a Long Installation and Maintenance period during the second half of 2025, the next call is planned in spring 2025, for beamtime allocation in the first semester of 2026.

PAL-XFEL - South Korea 

LCLS - USA

Regular user (long) experiments

Closed on 11/09/24 for March 2025 - July 2025 (run 24 hard & soft X-rays). https://lcls.slac.stanford.edu/proposals/run24-regular 

Run 25 deadlines ??

Data collection beamtime ("standard config", 1-2 shifts)

For completing full datasets. Need prior beamtime.

PCS: Protein crystal screening 

LCLS PCS: Closed on 08/10/24 for run 24, march 25 - july 25

SwissFEL - Switzerland

Closed 15/09/24 for period 01/01/25 - 31/07/25

Beamline: ARAMIS-Cristallina-MX: Fixed target SFX setup

up to 2% b/w (presumably longer pulses too?)

short pulse: 10-40 fs fwhm, energy scales with duration 

ultrafshort pulse mode: < 1 fs fwhm, pulse energy 5-10 uJ (what about the focus ??)

SACLA - Japan
