- Access to the ATF is granted for a period of one year, with possible
extension to additional years subject to approval of the Steering
Committee.
- Experiments are subject to ATF Safety and Operational Review and all
applicable Physics safety, health and environmental regulations,
including Beam Line Safety Review and Safety Approval Forms.
- Based on the current load of experiments, beam time for an approved
experiment ranges between one to three weeks a year.
- During running time, operation of the facility is based on an 8
hours per day, five days per week. Experimenters who wish to run for a
longer time (night or weekends) must make arrangements with ATF
operators.
- The use of the ATF beam time is free for approved users. However,
users may be charged for certain Services and Amenities (machining,
electrical work, Helium for bolometers etc.). Users requiring chargable
items should set up a BNL account by contacting
Kathy Tuohy.
- Additional information on Visiting BNL is available
here, and ATF visitor
information here.
For proposals please complete the following form, attaching a scientific
case complete with references.

Approved experiments will have to establish an agreement with
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) to cover Research. Information
