Today, the Program Advisory Committee chaired by Prof. Anton Middelberg (University of Queensland), met to assess the scientific merit of beam-time and deuteration proposals submitted for time between January and June 2012.
In general, the impression was that the quality of both proposals and external reviewing has continued to increase.
138 experiments were recommended for approval, with beam time allocations as follows: 65 days on Echidna, 65 days on Wombat, 85 days on Kowari, 63 days on Koala, 75 days on Platypus and 65 days on Taipan.
The variation in time allocated is primarily due to existing commitments to program proposals.
One new program was recommended for approval in this round, and its time allocations on Taipan, Wombat and Echidna are included in the figures given above .
