QUICK ACCESS PROPOSALS
PROPOSAL REVIEW AND BEAM TIME ALLOCATION
The system functions primarily through written reviews of proposals by expert referees. Normally, several reviews are sought for each proposal, using referees chosen by NIST staff. In addition, NCNR scientists carry out reviews for safety and technical feasibility.
After satisfactory reviews have been obtained, the Beam Time Allocation Committee (BTAC) of the NCNR rank-orders the proposals and assigns the amount of beam time to be allocated to each successful proposal for each experimental station. The BTAC meets twice a year to do this. The actual scheduling of experiments is carried out by NCNR staff. The BTAC has primary responsibility for proposal review, and it provides advice to NIST and NCNR management on all aspects of the NCNR operation.
