Proposal Extensions

Often, during the course of an experimental program, the beam time originally allocated is not sufficient to adequately complete an investigation. It it then appropriate for the group leader to present a progress report to the next EEC and request additional beam time under the same experiment number. In these circumstances, the EEC has instructed that some very specific issues be addressed. They are

• The user should reiterate the goal and overall context of what was proposed and done during the original proposal and clearly explain why those are relevant to the requested extension.
• The user must clearly state why the extra beam time is required. For example:
  1. has a relevant but unanticipated aspect of the phenomenon been unearthed, or
  2. have the originally proposed measurements proven to be less sensitive to the phenomena and more time is required
  3. etc.
