The user of the month
In our beamline (i.e. experimental station wich uses a synchrotron light source...ah, now it is really clear!!) we have a lot of users. In fact, everyone who has good ideas about experiments, can apply for beamtime (time for experiments) at our lab. After an evaluation process from an external scientific review committee, succesful users can come once or twice a year for 3-5 days to perfrorm their experiments. And with 3-5 days we intend FULL days: 24 hours over 24. In our case we decided to invent the prize for the "user of the month". How does it work? Well, users who make the craziest picture inside the beamline or our lab win the competition. The prize consists in....glory...(after all we are scientist, and should be used to it... :p ). It is unbelievable what people can do after at least 2 days of sleepless working......you will see....
