Application Information for ATF Access

  • Applications for ATF access are evaluated by a Steering Committee.
  • The Steering Committee meets annually, typically in the Fall.
  • Applications should be submitted as detailed proposals to:

    Dr. Ilan Ben-Zvi
    MS 911B, Brookhaven National Laboratory
    Upton, NY 11973-5000 USA
    benzvi@bnl.gov

    with a copy to:

    Dr. Mikhail Fedurin
    MS 820, Brookhaven National Laboratory
    Upton NY 11973-5000 USA
    fedurin@bnl.gov
     
  • 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 concerning User Agreements can be found at http://www.bnl.gov/guv/Agreements/
