1.4.4 TA04: TRANSNATIONAL ACCESS TO JYU-JYFL
1.4.4.1 PUBLICITY CONCERNING THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACCESS TO TA04
The measures taken to publicise the opportunities for access are:

a dedicated web site: http://www.phys.jyu.fi/research/
In web site it is described:

Who can apply

How to apply

Call for Proposals

Financial Support

Application Form

Structure and Services of the research infrastructure
1.4.4.2 SELECTION PROCEDURE
1.4.4.2.1 Users Selection Panel
Access is based on approved proposals for the experiments (= projects) to be carried out at
the JYFL Accelerator Laboratory by the user groups. They are evaluated by the Program
Advisory Committee (PAC) (= the Users Selection Panel), which meets in Jyväskylä around
2 weeks after the deadline for submitting proposals (March 15 and September 15).
Before the PAC meeting, every proposal is looked at in great detail by one PAC member, if
possible by someone with particular experience in the relevant research topic. During the
PAC meeting, each proposal is discussed in detail. The criteria used in judging a proposal
are: the importance of the physics topic, the feasibility and the suitability for the JYFL
facility. The PAC can propose to reduce the amount of beam time from that requested.
After the discussion of all proposals, they are ranked according to the average mark they
received. Since there are 2 calls for proposals per year, it makes no sense to award more
than about 6 months worth of experiments during each PAC meeting. Going from the
highest to lowest ranked proposals, the beam time is added until a total time of 120 to 150
days is reached, thus setting a cut-off mark. The PAC then recommends to approve the
proposals with a mark higher than this cut-off value. All spokespersons of the proposals are
notified of the result of the PAC discussion and of how much beam time (if any) was
awarded.
The decision to award financial support under the EU-Access contract is taken by the board
of the Accelerator Laboratory. During the PAC selection process, no priority is given to new
and young users of the facility. However, this criterion is taken into account in awarding the
financial support under the EC- Access contract.

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 not many publications can be expected
from such complex experiments within less than one year. The publications listed in Annex

FP5 programme.
