Submission of FEL User Proposals

Working on/upgrading one of the dipole magnets that bend the electron beam 180 degrees for the IR Upgrade FEL
FEL experiments require safety & scientific approval before assignment of beam time. The process will be described in detail in the Jefferson Lab EH&S Manual Chapter 3130.
Scientific approval is by the FEL Program Advisory Committee.
- Submit the proposal to G. Williams (x7521). Proposal guidelines (pdf, doc)
Safety approval is by the FEL Technical Advisory Committee.
- Submit the Experiments/Safety Approval Form to G. Williams (x7521).
After these approvals you must submit a Laser Operation Plan to G. Williams (x7521)to tell the operator how you want the FEL run.
User proposals have a lifetime of 2 years. They can be submitted at any time. The Program Advisory Committee meets annually at the user meeting in the Spring. We are currently recommissioning the upgrade FEL and have run a few user experiments. If you have any questions please e-mail gwyn@jlab.org.
