[RASMB] SOLAS: an X-ray diffraction beamline with unique capabilities

[Olwyn Byron]

Dear RASMBers,

(with apologies for cross-posting!)
 
I'm writing to ask for your support for a project entitled "SOLAS: a laser-plasma wakefield accelerator X-ray diffraction beamline with unique capabilities for structural biology", the aim of which is to build a dual end station beamline at SCAPA, University of Strathclyde (http://www.scapa.ac.uk/) for small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and crystallography and capable of supporting the SAUCE centrifugal sample environment that will enable (amongst other things) separation of complex systems and removal of aggregates.  This sample environment will also be translated to small-angle neutron scattering beamlines as part of the project.
 
I am leading a bid to the Wellcome Trust (http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/) for a Biomedical Resource and Technology Development Grant to support this project and I need to demonstrate interest in SOLAS.  I'd be grateful if you could take 5 minutes to complete this very short survey to provide me with an indication of community need for SOLAS:

It would be ideal if you could do this before the end of this week (10 October 2014).
 
Many thanks and best wishes,
Olwyn Byron
