PHELIX and Plasmaphysics Program Advisory Committee (PPAC)

The PHELIX and Plasmaphysics Program Advisory Committee (PPAC) is an international program advisory committee of GSI/FAIR. It gives advice to the Directorate on selecting experiment proposals that are submitted by individual users or user groups in the field of plasma physics with ions and lasers, currently for the FAIR-Phase 0 program. Following periodic calls for proposals, the PPAC meets approx. once every year; it evaluates the experiment proposals on the basis of scientific merit and with regard to the GSI/FAIR strategy, and makes recommendations on the amount of beam time to be allotted by the Scientific Director.

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.

 

For information on submission of PHELIX proposals please see: Information for PHELIX users,

and for  planning and scheduling of PHELIX experiments see: Beamtime Planning at PHELIX.

For proposal and user management we use the platform GATE: General Access Tool to the Experimental facilities of GSI/FAIR.

Registration to GATE under: https://gate.gsi.de

GATE Short Manual for Users: here

Registration in GATE is possible independant of an open 'Call' at any time, and registered users will be informed on new 'Calls'. So it is advisable for interested users to register any time.

All (!) participants of a proposal and users coming on-site for the experiment (experimentalists) need to be registered in GATE - and allow being visible for other users' searches in GATE.
