1.4.7.2 SELECTION PROCEDURE
1.4.7.2.1 Users Selection Panel
In principle the access to the AGOR facility is open to all qualified physicists. Each person
or group wanting to use the facility has to write a proposal for an experiment, stating the
motivation and interest of the experiment, its feasibility, the equipment required and
whether EU support is requested. These proposals are submitted to the Programme
Advisory Committee (PAC), which classifies them in several categories of priority,
according to scientific merits only. This committee advises the KVI Director on the
scientific priorities of the submitted papers.
For the accepted proposals in which EU support is requested, the PAC (acting as USP)
evaluates the time and the amount of travel requested for setting up and executing the
experiment and decides on the person-days and travel to be allocated to the proposal in
question.
In case a proposal is rejected the proposers receive a letter with detailed information on the
scientific-technical or formal (eligibility) reasoning for not accepting the proposal. Often the
proposers are invited to resubmit a revised proposal.
Please find in Annex 2 (Database) the list of the Selection Panel members for the reporting
period. There have been no changes in the composition of the Users Selection Panel during
the reporting period.
1.4.7.2.2 Selection Panel meetings
One meeting of the Selection-Panel, on 25 November 2005.

1.4.7.2.3 Selection criteria
The Users Selection Panel bases its selection on scientific merit, following the prescriptions
of Annex III of the contract, Article III.6.6.
1.4.7.3 TRANSNATIONAL ACCESS ACTIVITY DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD
In total five projects have been supported during the reporting period:
i. P1: Precision measurement of the Gamow-Teller branching ratio in 21Na decay;
ii. S43: Investigation of isovector giant resonances in 12C, 90Zr and 208Pb nuclei with
the (t,3He) reaction at 43 MeV/A;
iii. S49: Structure of electric dipole strength below the particle threshold;
iv. S51: Study of the GT transitions to intermediate states in double-beta decay:
64
Zn(d,2He)64Cu;
v.
F16: Study of three-nucleon force effects in the proton-deuteron break-up reaction.
The experiments of projects i.-iv. were performed in 2005; for project v. only preparational
activities have been done.
During the reporting period, in total 624 experimental hours were delivered; 27 individual
users have visited the facility and spent 292 person-days at the KVI.
Please find in Annex 3 (Database) the list of user-projects for which costs has been incurred
in the reporting period.
Please find in Annex 4 (Database) the list of users in the reporting period.
1.4.7.4 SIGNIFICANT
ACHIEVEMENTS OBTAINED BY THE USERS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD AND
THEIR IMPACT
Please find in Annex 5 the list of publications that have appeared in peer-reviewed journals
during the reporting period (or peer-reviewed conference proceedings) and resulting from
work carried out under the TA activity. Obviously no publications can be expected from
such complex experiments within less than one year. The publications listed in Annex 5
refer to experiments/activities supported under the previous access contract of the FP5
programme.
1.4.7.5 USERS MEETINGS
One meeting of the AGOR User Group was held on 25 November 2005.
