That is to say, in submitting an update requesting a change in a previously approved experiment, all of the previously approved beam time will be at risk. Note that this risk may be avoided by submitting a new proposal requesting time for additional physics measurements beyond those in the previously approved experiment, but the PAC review of the new proposal will have no effect on the PAC rating of the previously-approved experiment. Note also that the PAC may or may not choose to hear an oral presentation for updates depending on the scope of the proposed changes. Deferred Experiments Deferred experiments must be updated within one year or they will be removed from future consideration. Rather, it provides experimenters with feedback at an early stage on the PAC's views on the scientific and technical merit of an idea that the experimenters intend to develop into a full proposal.
All submissions can be mailed or submitted electronically, electronic submissions are preferred.
Fax submissions are not acceptable. I look forward to seeing you at Jefferson Lab.
