FACET-II is a National User Facility at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory that provides the Department of Energy with unique capabilities to develop advanced acceleration and coherent radiation techniques with high-energy high-intensity electron beams.
Our 2024 User meeting will include review of the fourth cycle of proposals by the FACET-II Program Advisory Committee (PAC) November 19-21, 2024. The PAC is chaired by Edda Gschwendtner (CERN) and is asked to:
- Evaluate the merit and the feasibility of new and updated proposals
- Evaluate the progress made by experiments that received beam time in FY24
- Assess plans and priorities for the upcoming experimental operations in FY25
Guidelines for new and updated proposals:
To receive full consideration, we ask that new and updated proposals be submitted by Friday, October 7, 2024. As you develop your proposal, we encourage you to coordinate with us to ensure the best match between your requests and current or future capabilities at FACET-II. Recommendations from the PAC will be used to guide priorities for run time scheduling, as well as for developing and introducing facility improvement plans.
Details of the proposal process including a proposal template may be found here:

We are looking forward to working with you on this important and exciting science program. Please feel free to forward this email to colleagues you feel may be interested.
Principal Investigators for already reviewed experiments may be asked to present at the PAC. In this case, the PI will be contacted directly in early October, and guidance for the presentation will be given.
