Letter of Clarification to the ISOLDE and Neutron Time-of-Flight Committee concerning Letter of Intent : INTC-2015-008 , I-161 Emission Mössbauer Spectroscopy of high energy transition isotopes June 3

The INTC has requested a clarification letter for Letter of Intent: INTC-2015-008, I-161, Emission Mössbauer Spectroscopy of high energy transition isotopes. We are pleased to note that the INTC felt positive towards the proposal, and we are happy to provide clarifications to the points raised by the INTC. It should be emphasized that at this stage with our Letter of Intent, we are asking for shifts to develop the use of specific beams produced at ISOLDE produced isotopes for emission Mössbauer spectroscopy with particular applications in biophysics and solid state physics. Once the feasibility of the requested beams has been demonstrated and documented, and the experimental equipment demonstrated to work, producing data in a reliable and reproducible way we expect that proposals on specific applications will be submitted to the INTC. Requested shifts: 4 shifts, (split into ~4 runs over ~2 years)
