were held; two for proposals of nuclear physics (NPPAC), and one for proposals of material and life science(ML-PAC). The NP-PAC meetings were co-organizedby RNC and the Center for Nuclear Study (CNS), theUniversity of Tokyo. The NP-PAC reviewed experimental proposals at RIBF, whereas the ML-PAC reviewed proposals at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory(RAL) and RIBF.

NP-PAC meetings. The proposals ranked with S and A
are treated as the “approved” proposals.
