Program Advisory Committees of GSI/FAIR

In GSI/FAIR's Program Advisory Committees, internationally recognised experts in their fields advice the Directorate as external reviewers on the selection of experiment proposals for the allocation of beamtime.

 

General Program Advisory Committee (G-PAC) - evaluates experiment proposals in the fields of nuclear and atomic physics. This General PAC also acts as umbrella for the different sub-PACs like:

Biophysics & Radio-Biology Program Advisory Committee (Bio-PAC) - evaluates experiment proposals in the areas of biophysics and radio-biology.

Materials Research Program Advisory Committee (Mat-PAC) - evaluates experiment proposals in the area of materials research.

PHELIX and Plasmaphysics Program Advisory Committee (PPAC) - evaluates experiment proposals on plasma physics using ions and/or the Petawatt High-Energy Laser for Heavy Ion Experiments (PHELIX).

 

Information for Users on services and beam time can be found on the Users' Webpages

Call for Beamtime Proposals

Presently, no open call

 

Process of proposal Submission

Submission of beamtime proposals to GSI is done via the platform GATE (General Access Tool to the Experimental infrastructures of GSI/FAIR). With a personalized account users can submit proposals as Proposers, organize the experiment on site (Responsible Experimentalist) or participate in an experiment on the campus (Experimentalist).

Note on Research Data Management Plan

A Research Data Management Plan (RDMP) is currently not mandatory, but users are asked to plan ahead of time how to take, manage, process and store their data, and think about its possible later publication. This also helps in formulating a request for host lab resources, e.g. IT support, if required. For more information see this document.

Granted Experiments and Reserve List

Experiments with granted beamtime (i.e. ranked A) are listed in this table. It contains experiments in the status after granting and before completion/expiry, and gives number of granted shifts.

Experiments in the reserve list have been ranked A- due to large overdraft of beamtime. They might be scheduled if beamtime becomes available. 

Data are updated before and after a beamtime block.

Users Mailinglist

User that are registered in GATE (gate.gsi.de) and agree to this, will receive user-related information such as 'Calls for beamtime proposals'.

 

Additionally, there is the mailinglist 'GSI-Usersgroup @ gsi.de', for which users can register themselves. Through this mailinglist information e.g. on the summer student program or calls for contributions to the yearly scientific report will be communicated.

For registering to this mailinglist please click here. If you do not own a password for Listserv yet, please get one under this link and confirm it upon reception of the respective E-mail. This password is valid for all Listserv mailinglists to which you are subscribed. Once you have a password, please login to register to the users mailinglist (as regular subscriber).
