Proposal Study Panel Scoring Results
Scoring
General user proposals are submitted to the ALS for consideration twice yearly. All proposals are reviewed by the Proposal Study Panel and scored on a scale of one to five, where one is the highest score. Beamtime is then assigned based on each proposal's ranking in relation to all other proposals for a given beamline. In cases where requests for a specific beamline exceed available beamtime, a cutoff score is assigned after which no beamtime is allocated. In other cases, all requests for beamtime are generally granted.
Beamtime Allocation and Cutoff Scores
The table below lists the percentage of requested beamtime that was allocated for each beamline and cutoff scores, where applicable, below which no beamtime was assigned. Go to the individual beamline to view the distribution of proposal scores.
