The Program Advisory Committees (PAC) are incharge of reviewing the scientific proposals submitted
for the use of the accelerator facility of RIKEN Nishina
Center (RNC). Three PAC meetings were held in fiscalyear 2018; one for the proposals of nuclear physics (NPPAC), and two for the proposals of materials and life
experiments (ML-PAC). The NP-PAC reviewed experimental proposals at RIBF, whereas the ML-PAC reviewed proposals at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory(RAL) and RIBF.
NP-PACThe 19th NP-PAC meeting was held from November 29 through December 1, 2018,1) with attendance of
16 PAC members. 33 proposals including 3 construction proposals were reviewed, and 14 proposals wereapproved as grade A. The outcome of the NP-PAC
meeting is summarized in Table 1.
The 19th NP-PAC members are as follows:
A. Bracco (INFN, the chair), D. Ackermann (GANIL),
A. Andreyev (University of York), I. Hamamoto (University of Lund/RNC), R.V.F. Janssens (Universityof North Carolina at Chapel Hill), A.O. Macchiavelli(LBNL), D.J. Morrissey (MSU), T. Nagae (Kyoto University), H. Nakada (Chiba University), K. Ogata(RCNP, Osaka University), T. Rauscher (University of Hertfordshire), K. Sekiguchi (Tohoku UniverTable 1.

ML-PACThe 16th and 17th ML-PACs were held on July 20,
