Local Contact support

 

At the HPMX laboratory you have a specific local contact support complementary to that on the MX beamlines. Non authorized people are not allowed to use any of the high pressure cells.  In general, users are responsible for handling the samples, and HPMX staff will run the high pressure systems.  For experiments that require an extensive support from the local contact, and/or when the scientific support provided is crucial for the project outcome, this needs prior agreement about a possible coauthorship on the respective publication(s).
