The maximum length of the abstract has to be restricted to one page and must contain:
-the title of the proposal;
-the accelerator complex to be used (e.g. Tandem, CN, AN2000)
-the experimental setup for which the experiment is proposed (e.g. AGATA, PRISMA, LIRAS, GAMIPE, GARFIELD, PISOLO, SIRAD, etc.);
-the name(s) of the spokesperson(s);
-the names of the Group Leader In Matter of Safety (GLIMOS);
-the list of all the authors and their affiliation;
-a brief summary of the proposal.
The body of the proposal does not contain the abstract page and has to be strictly limited to a maximum of 5 pages (12pt fonts) – tables, figures and references included.
The proposals should include the scientific motivation of the experiment, technical details of the proposed measurement – i.e. the description of the instrumentation needed, quantities to be measured and related precision – and the number of days of beam time requested based on count-rate estimates. For continuation experiments, a brief summary of the status of activities performed in previous periods is expected to be reported.
Once you have submitted the “Beam Time Request” a report page on inserted data will be displayed and you will be asked to fill in also the on-line “Targets Request Form”. The Targets Request form may be filled in more times by clicking again the “Targets Request Form” link in the report page.
After the submission, you will receive an e-mail message confirming that your request has been registered. Do not delete the message, because it also contains a password needed for later modifications.
Technical Review of the Proposals
After the submission and before the PAC meeting, the technical feasibility of the proposals (in terms of beam availability, intensity, energy, target, status of the accelerators, readiness of the experimental setup, radioprotection limits, accident safety and prevention) will be reviewed by an internal LNL committee.
The spokespersons will be notified about any issue found by the technical evaluation of their proposals about 7 days before the PAC meeting.
Oral Presentation
Oral presentation of the proposals at the PAC meeting (12 minutes + 8 minutes discussion) may be required both to new and continuation experiments and should contain previously obtained results, if applicable.
The PAC meeting will be held in person. Spokespersons are requested to present in person their proposals.

INFN account for submission
You must have an active INFN-AAI account to submit the proposal. Otherwise, you will have to ask calcolo@NOSPAM.lnl.infn.it (INFN LNL STI) for an account activation. In this case, please consider to ask for an account as soon as possible if you plan to submit a proposal.
