1.Proposals
This
is
the
call
for
new
proposals
as
well
as
updated
proposals
for
experiments
at
the
RCNP-OSAKA
Cyclotron
Facilities.
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
accepted
proposals.
Power
supplies
for
Raiden
at
AVF
cyclotron
were
replaced
by
new
ones
in
2001.
We
welcome
proposals
for
experiments
with
the
Raiden
spectrometer
using
beams
from
the
AVF
cyclotron.
We
shall
try
hard
to
get
budget
for
approved
experiments
as
we
have
done
in
the
past.
However,
the
Ministry
of
Education,
Science
and
Technology
(Monkashou)
has
a
policy
to
shift
the
Common-in-use
money
to
competitive
sources.
It
is,
therefore,
strongly
recommended
that
the
spokesperson
tries
to
get
such
outside
funds
as
a
grant-in-aid
for
his
proposed
experiment.
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://nrdf.meme.hokudai.ac.jp/.
The
next
B-PAC
meeting
will
be
held
on
February
24(Monday),
2003.
The
deadline
of
proposals
to
be
reviewed
in
the
coming
B-PAC
is
January
27(Monday),
2003.
The
beam
time
for
accepted
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.Letters-Of-Intents
Letters-Of-Intent
for
new
research
projects
are
welcome.
Such
research
projects
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 the scientific values, feasibilities and status of the research project, and makes suggestions to the Director. The P-PAC will be held twice a year.

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.
URL
is
http://www.rcnp.osaka-u.ac.jp/Divisions/plan/b-pac/reference.html.
The
new
beam
line,
WS
beam
line,
was
completed.
The
WS
beam
line
realizes
both
the
lateral
and
angular
dispersion
matchings.
An
energy
resolution
of
better
than
20
keV
was
achieved
with
400
MeV
protons.
