1.Experiment

    This is the call for new proposals as well as updated proposals
for experiments at the RCNP Cyclotron Facility. They may be submitted
to the Director of RCNP at any time. The RCNP Beam-time Program
Advisory Committee (B-PAC)* evaluates scientific values and
feasibilities of the proposed experiments as well as the budget
requests. The result of the B-PAC is submitted to the Director. B-PAC
meets twice a year and reviews research programs received more than
one month in advance of the B-PAC meeting. The spokesperson or one of
his colleagues is requested to give an oral presentation of the
proposal at B-PAC.  According to the recommendation of B-PAC, beam
time will be scheduled for approved proposals.

    Spokespersons are requested to send the numerical data to the
Japan Charged-Particle Reaction data Group (JCPRG) in order to add
them to the data base after completing their experiments. URL of
JCPRG is http://www.jcprg.org/.
         
    The next B-PAC meeting will be held on August 9 (Monday), 2010.
                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The spokespersons are strongly requested to give the presentation for
the B-PAC by themselves.

    The deadline of proposals to be reviewed in the coming B-PAC is
July 12 (Monday), 2010. Electronic submission is strongly recommended. 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    The beam time for approved proposals will be scheduled within
2 years from the date of the approval, depending on the status of the
preparations. A proposal should include COVER PAGE, SUMMARY OF
EXPERIMENT and DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED RESEARCH. Proposals
should be sent to the RCNP Director with "Research Program" clearly
written on the envelope. The official language is English. 

    A document is required to describe details on radiation conditions
in the experiment. The form(pdf) is available on the URL
http://www.rcnp.osaka-u.ac.jp/Divisions/rad/index.html, 
which is in Japanese.

    The RCNP Director keeps about 10% of the total beam time to be
distributed at his own discretion. This includes beam time for training
graduate students upon request. Those who are interested in this beam
time are asked to submit the proper proposals, at any time to the
Director.

2. Project

    Proposals are called for projects which fill at least one of
following criteria.

  a. Experiments which are expected to take more than 2 years to be
     completed.
  b. Experiments which request budgets larger than ten millions JPY
     in total to RCNP.
  c. Experiments which request beamtime longer than 30 days/year.
  d. Projects for constructing new equipment or for doing fundamental
     developments which are expected to be widely used in other 
     experiments.

    Proposals will be reviewed by the P-PAC or a sub-committee of
P-PAC, if necessary. The spokesperson is requested to give an oral
presentation of the proposal. The deadline of proposals to be reviewed
in the coming P-PAC is July 12 (Monday), 2010.
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    At the end of the project, the spokesperson should write a report
on the accomplishments, budgets and other details of the project as an
article of the RCNP Annual Report.

3. Present Status and Highlights of RCNP Cyclotron Facilities

    The present status of RCNP Cyclotron Facilities is found on the
Web pages for reference for Proposals. URL is
http://www.rcnp.osaka-u.ac.jp/Divisions/plan/b-pac/reference.html.

    The WS beam course realizes both the lateral and angular
dispersion matchings. An energy resolution of better than 20 keV was
achieved with 400 MeV protons.
