Necessary Procedures for your visit to PF, KEK
 
Updated on : 18th May, 2015
 
   1. Financial support and approval of the visit
 
 

The Principal Investigator needs to inform Indian Beamline Office (by email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) the names of the experimentalist who will visit Indian Beamline at PF for experiments during the beamtime and it is expected that PI is one of them. In the case where PI will not be able to go there during experiment, a special approval letter or email from Project leader, Prof. Milan K. Sanyal ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) is absolutely necessary for getting financial approval for the beamtime.

 

A financial sanction letter will be provided to the PI from SINP for the visit to the Indian Beamline for experiment but once the sanction letter has been issued, the name of experimentalist who will travel to the Beamline cannot be changed. This financial sanction letter also can be produced to the Japanese consulate for visa purpose. The details for the travel support are also available in the attached “Travel Rules - KEK”.

   9. PF Publication Database
 
  As per the recommendation of the steering committee members of the Indian Beamline project, the following experimental facilities need special attention during the experiments.

1) Low temperature powder diffraction facility
2) High temperature powder diffraction facility
3) High pressure powder diffraction facility
4) Lliquid surface scattering facility

One person from the beamline maintenance group will be involved in setting up and help during the experiment. He/she should get the due credit for his support during the experiment as an author in the publication from the data obtained from the Indian Beamline at PF. The name of the person involved in the experiment will be notified during beamtime.

The authors should acknowledge the beamline facility and DST, India with the following statement in the acknowledge section of the paper published from the this beamline data.

"Authors thank the Department of Science and Technology, India for the financial support and Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, India for facilitating the experiments at the Indian Beamline, Photon Factory, KEK, Japan."

<PF Publication Database>

All types of publications (papers, reviews, thesis) regarding the experimental results should be registered to PF publication database through the following web page.
