The Program Advisory Committees (PAC) is incharge of reviewing scientific proposals submitted foruse of the accelerator facility of RIKEN Nishina Center(RNC). In Fiscal Year 2015, two PAC meetings wereheld; one for proposals of nuclear physics (NP-PAC),
and one for 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) andRIBF.

Table 1. Summary of the outcome of the 16th NP-PAC
meeting. The proposals ranked with S and A are
treated as the “approved” proposals.
