Scheduling Experiments

Review Process

Internal Review

A commitee has been formed to internally review all the beam time requests at HIGS. The review committee consits of six members representing Duke, UNC and NC-State universities. The present members are :

Review Committee
H. R. Weller (Chair) 919-660-2633 Duke weller@tunl.duke.edu
Calvin Howell 919-660-2632 Duke howell@tunl.duke.edu
Hugon Karwowski 919-660-2611 UNC hugon@tunl.duke.edu
Art Champagne 919-660-2607 UNC aec@tunl.duke.edu
Gary Mitchell 919-660-2638 NC-State mitchell@tunl.duke.edu
Chris Gould 919-660-2614 NC-State gould@tunl.duke.edu

The starting point of scheduling an experiment at HIGS is to fill out the beam time request form (download the form from this page) and forward it to H. R. Weller. Upon receipt of the form, a more detailed proposal may be requested by the review committee.

 

External Review

In addition to this internal review, the TUNL Director is having all beam time requests reviewed by a three-person outside committee. The results of this review will be combined with the recommendations of the Internal Review Committee when beam time is scheduled. This year's (2004) external review committee consists of Gerald Garvey, Barry Holstein and Michael Wiescher.

Technical Review and Scheduling

The recommendations of the Internal and External Review Committees will be forwarded to the HIGS Scheduling Committee (Tornow, Edwards, Wu, Weller). Beam time will be scheduled on the basis of these recommendations as well as a technical review to determine the likelihood of success.
