Bragg Institute
The Bragg Institute leads Australia in the use of neutron scattering and X-ray techniques to solve complex research and industrial problems in many important fields. OPAL will assist in placing the Bragg Institute at the forefront of the world's best neutron research facilities.

Today, our Program Advisory Committee met to assess the scientific merit of beam-time and deuteration proposals submitted for time between July and December 2012. In general, the impression was that the quality of both proposals and external reviewing has been maintained. Allocations of beam time on Quokka and Platypus have been put on hold pending the return to service of OPAL's cold neutron source. But 64 thermal-neutron experiments were recommended for approval, with beam time allocations as follows: 61 days on Echidna, 66 days on Wombat, 72 days on Kowari, 61 days on Koala and 68 days on Taipan. The variation in time allocated is primarily due to existing commitments to program proposals. One new program was recommended for approval in this round, and its time allocations on Wombat and Echidna are included in the figures given above.
