Proposal Submissions
To the Experiments Evaluation Committee

We are inviting users to submit new proposals related to research at ISAC, or other TRIUMF Beam facilities.

All proposals should include:

  • A concise summary of the scientific problem under investigation, with appropriate literature references
  • A clear justification for the proposed experiment
  • A description of the experimental techniques to be used and naming the facilities to be used
  • An analysis of beam time requirements
  • An indication of how the personnel effort is to be devoted to this experiment

Proposals are requested and received from individuals and groups around the world and are judged solely on the basis of scientific merit and feasibility by the Experiments Evaluation Committees (EEC), peer review boards constituted of distinguished scientists from all over the globe.

Proposal forms are available online at:
http://admin.triumf.ca/docs/forms/eec_blank.pdf

There are three independent Committees (EEC) for the TRIUMF cyclotron and/or ISAC:
Subatomic physics experiments (SAPEEC)
Molecular and materials science experiments (MMSEEC)
Life sciences experiments (LSPEC)

Each of these committees advises TRIUMF's Director of its recommended priorities in the allocation of beam time and major facilities. The Director is not bound by the EEC's recommendations, but has never ignored them.

During the review, proposals are assigned a priority rating that assists in the scheduling of the experiment.

The EEC convenes to hear formal proposals once or twice a year. The next meetings are scheduled for:

SAPEEC 4 & 5 Dec, 2006 Proposal Sumbission deadline passed
MMSEEC 7 & 8 Dec, 2005 Proposal Sumbission deadline passed
LSPEC 25 & 26 Jan, 2006 Submit proposals by December 11, 2006
