Dear all,

We have now opened the second call for proposals for 2015. Applications can be found here.

Please send your application no later than November 18th.

The SwissSIMS is now fully fonctional: the repair of the ion coil was successful. We get high precision measurements on standards using the Cs source + egun, during several consecutive days.

Projects needing Cs source could now start again, followed, little bit later, by development.
