​High Power Lasers call for access - Vulcan and Gemini

We invite proposals for access to the Vulcan TAW and Gemini TA3 target areas for the period April 2022 – October 2022.

1 slot for Gemini TA3 in this round is available for EU access and is funded through Laserlab-Europe. All other access in this round is funded by STFC, and these non-Laserlab-Europe proposals must have at least one co-investigator who is a permanent member of staff at a UK academic institution.​

 All proposals should be submitted electronically at the following website by Friday, 17th September 2021 at 12pm (noon).

Please contact the User Office (clf@stfc.ac.uk) or the Panel Co-ordinator, David Carroll (david.carroll@stfc.ac.uk), if you have any difficulty during the submission process.

​​​Details of call

For access to the Vulcan and Gemini facilities of the CLF we require the completion of the CLF Technical Pack, which is used by the facility to provide us with sufficient detail to assess the implementation of the experiment if scheduled. This should be submitted to the website alongside your science case.​
