Experiments
New experiments
If you are looking to propose an experiment at ISS, please contact us beforehand to start the collaboration and discuss the technical feasibility. We have an annual workshop to discuss new proposals and update users on the progress and successes of experiments. It is expected that all new proposals to the INTC will have been presented at one of these workshops and submitted to iss-proposals@cern.ch at least 4 weeks before the relevant ISOLDE and Neutron Time-of-flight Committee (INTC) submission deadline.
Upcoming INTC meetings and deadlines
Run 2 and 3 experiments
