Call for Proposals and Letters-Of-Intent at RCNP
1.Proposals
This is the call for new proposals as well as updated proposals for
experiments at RCNP-OSAKA cyclotron facilities. They are to 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 recommen-
dation of B-PAC, beam time will be scheduled for accepted proposals.
We shall try hard to get budget for approved experiments as until now.
However, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (Monkashou)
has a policy to shift the Common-in-use money to the competitive source.
It is, therefore, strongly recommended that the sporksperson tries to get
such outside funds as a grant-in-aid for his proposed
experiment. Sporkspersons 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://nrdf.meme.hokudai.ac.jp/.
The deadline of proposals to be reviewed in the coming B-PAC is
The next B-PAC meeting will be held someday in and the
spokes-person
or a representative is requested to attend the meeting and to present
details of his proposal.
The beam time for the accepted proposals will be scheduled within 2
years
from the date of the approval of the proposal, depending on how the
experiment
is ready. A proposal should include COVER PAGE, SUMMARY OF EXPERIMENT and
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED RESEARCH. Proposals should be sent to the
RCNP Director with an indication of "Research Program" on the envelope.
The official language is English.
The RCNP Director keeps about 10% of the total beam time to be decided
by
his own responsibility. This beam time includes that 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.Letters-Of-Intents
Letters-Of-Intent for new research projects are welcome. The research
project may involve new experimental facilities and equipments to be built
in
collaboration with RCNP staff. The project should be completed in a few
years.
They can be submitted to the Director of RCNP at any time. The RCNP
Physics Program Advisory Committee (P-PAC) examines its scientific values,
feasibilities and status of the research project, and reports the
suggestions
to the Director. The P-PAC will be held twice a year.
3. Present Status and Highlights of RCNP-OSAKA Cyclotron Facilities
The present Status of RCNP-OSAKA Cyclotron Facilities is found on the
Web
pages for reference for Proposals.

The new beam line, WS beam line, was completed. The WN beam line
realizes
both the lateral and angular dispersion matchings. The energy resolution was
observed to be better than 20 keV with 400 MeV protons.
