Test-Sandrine – Scientific Committees

When the proposal for an experiment at CERN is sufficiently advanced, generally after long discussions between many people, and an assessment has been made of the financial implications of the project, the time required on one or other of the machines, and the necessary experimental equipment and staff, it is submitted to the appropriate CERN Scientific Committee.

These committees also make recommendations on the facilities offered by the accelerators in their respective fields.

The committees’ proposals and recommendations were passed on to the Nuclear Physics Research Committee from 1960 to 1976 and to the Research Board from 1976 to today for the final decisions concerning the experimental programme and the facilities offered by the accelerators.

Information about current and former committees (in alphabetical order) is given below:

Advisory Committee (AC), 1957 – 1960

Advisory Committee (AC), 1957 – 1960
During a meeting of the Scientific Policy Committee, it was decided to propose to the Council the creation of an Advisory Committee to advise the Director-General on matters concerning the utilization of the accelerators by visiting teams from Member States.The Advisory Committee was established in June 1957. It met for the first time in August 1957 in the presence of seven visitors’ representatives and ten CERN staff, when it discussed their proposals for Synchro-Cyclotron (SC) experiments. The committee met six times between 1957 and 1960.With the Proton Synchroton (PS) commissionnned in November 1959, a global policy was defined for the exploitation of the SC and the PS. The Advisory Committee (for the SC, PS and Emulsion techniques) was taken over by three new experimental committees, one for each experimental technique used: the Electronic Experiments Committee (EEC), the Track Chamber Committee (TCC) (for the Bubble Chambers) and the Emulsion Committee.

Detector Research and Development Committee (DRDC-1), 1990 – 1995

Detector Research and Development Committee (DRDC-1), 1990 – 1995
The Detector Research and Development Committee (DRDC) was set up in July 1990. It received proposals for detector R&D involving people from Member States, other countries, and CERN itself. The committee operated in the same way as the other experimental committees of CERN, and forwarded its recommendations to the Research Board for final decision. It held its last meeting in January 1995. Its role was taken over by the LHC Committee (LHCC) and SPS Committee (SPSC). DRDC-1 Database

Electronic Experiments Committee (EEC) – Physics I Committee (PH-I-COM), 1961 – 1976

Electronic Experiments Committee (EEC) – Physics I Committee (PH-I-COM), 1961 – 1976
In 1960 the Director-General John Adams proposed a number of measures to define a global policy for the exploitation of the Synchro-Cyclotron (SC) and the new Proton Synchrotron (PS). He decided to create three Committees, one for each experimental technique used: Electronic : Electronic Experiments Commitee (EEC) Bubble chambers : Track Chamber Committee (TCC) Emulsions :Emulsion Committee (EmC) These three new committees were proposed to replace the Advisory Committee and the Bubble Chamber Committee. The EEC had the task of examining proposals for electronics experiments (counter and other electronic experiments not included in the TCC and EmC functions) to be carried out at the CERN 28GeV Proton Synchrotron (PS), and making recommendations to theNuclear Physics Research Committee (NPRC). It formed a link between the European counter groups and the CERN Laboratory. The EEC came into operation in 1961, and met about once a month. The first meeting was held on 1 March, 1961. It comprised a Chairperson (a senior physicist working on electronic experiments, not on the staff of CERN) and Members (representatives of CERN and other European counter groups wanting to use the CERN facilities). In 1966, the EEC was often called the Physics I Committee (PH-I-COM). This name referred to the new departments, Physics I and Physics II, which had just been created as an additional layer in CERN’s organisational structure. The name PH-I was sometimes used (from 1966 until the departments were abolished in 1976) in the numbering systems of EEC. For example, propositions for the EEC were given “PH-I-COM-YY-RN” numbers, while EEC minutes had “EEC-YY-RN” numbers.In 1976 (end of the bubble chambers period) John Adams and Leon Van Hove rationalized the system, abolishing the committee system based on experimental techniques, and basing it instead on the machine. EEC and TCC merged to become the Proton Synchrotron Committee (PSC). 19611965197419761977EECEEC / PH-I-COMEECPSCTCCTCC / PH-II-COMTCC PSC

Emulsion Experiment Committee (EmC) – Physics III Committee (PH-III-COM), 1961 – 1976

Emulsion Experiment Committee (EmC) – Physics III Committee (PH-III-COM), 1961 – 1976
In 1960 the Director-General John Adams proposed a number of measures to define a global policy for the exploitation of the Synchro-Cyclotron and the new Proton Synchrotron. He decided to create three Committees, one for each experimental technique used:Emulsions : Emulsion Committee (EmC)Electronic : Electronic Experiments Commitee (EEC)Bubble chambers : Track Chamber Committee (TCC)These three new committees were proposed to replace the Advisory Committee and Bubble Chamber Committee.The EmC’s functions were to propose to the Nuclear Physics Research Committee emulsion experiments to be carried out at CERN, and also to form a link between the European emulsion groups and the CERN Laboratory.The EmC came into operation in 1961, and met about once a month. It comprised a Chairperson (a senior physicist working on emulsion experiments, not on the staff of CERN) and members (representatives of CERN and other European emulsion groups wanting to use CERN facilities).In 1966 the importance of emulsion techniques decreased rapidly, and following a proposal by B. Gregory, G. Ekspong and L. Van Hove, it was decided to merge the EmC with the Nuclear Structure Committee (NSC) to form the Physics III-Committee (PH-III-COM).In 1976 (end of the bubble chambers period) John Adams and Leon Van Hove rationalized the system, abolishing the committee system based on experimental technique, and basing it instead on the machine.

ISOLDE Committee (ISC), 1991 – 1999
The Isolde Committee (ISC) was set up in 1991 to evaluate proposals for experiments on the Isolde facility (On-Line-Isotope Separator) after its transfer to the Proton Synchrotron (PS) Booster. The ISC held four meetings per year. The committee’s conclusions were transmitted to the Research Board (RB) by the Chairperson. Previously, Isolde had operated on the Synchro-Cyclotron (approved by the Nuclear Physics Research Committee (NPRC) on 17 December 1964).In 1999 ISC became Isolde and Neutron Time-of-Flight Experiments Committee (ISTC), evaluating proposals for experiments of Isolde facility and in addition for the Neutron Time of Flight facility. 1991Chairperson: Jonson, BIndex of ISC documentsCERN-ISC-91-1 to 38Box: K0111Fulltexts1992Chairperson: Jonson, BIndex of ISC documentsCERN-ISC-92-1 to 42Box: K0112Fulltexts1993Chairperson: Jonson, BIndex of ISC documentsCERN-ISC-93-1 to 38Box: K0112Fulltexts1994Chairperson: Richter, AIndex of ISC documentsCERN-ISC-94-1 to 30Box: K0112Fulltexts1995Chairperson: Richter, AIndex of ISC documentsCERN-ISC-95-1 to 30Box: K0113Fulltexts1996Chairperson: Richter, AIndex of ISC documentsCERN-ISC-96-1 to 33Box: K0113Fulltexts1997Chairperson: Richter, AIndex of ISC documentsCERN-ISC-97-1 to 32Box: K0113Fulltexts1998Chairperson: Richter, AIndex of ISC documentsCERN-ISC-98-1 to 25Box: K0113Fulltexts1999Chairperson: Richter, A / Flocard, HIndex of ISC & ISTC documentsCERN-ISC-99-1 to 18CERN-ISTC-99-1 to 8CERN-ISTC-99-19 to 21Box: K0113 – K0115Fulltexts

Large Electron Positron Committee (LEPC), 1982 – 2000
The Large Electron Positron Collider Committe (LEPC) was set up with G. Wolf as its Chairperson in 1982.The LEPC was responsible for informing the Research Board (RB) about the experimental programme of the LEP accelerator. It received experimental proposals, organised their public presentation and discussion, and nominated experts, usually chosen from among its members, to evaluate them. After consultation with the machine group of LEP, the committee presented its recommendations to the Research Board. The LEPC also established the long-term programme of LEP, which was submitted to the Scientific Policy Committee (SPC).LEPC met about once a month.

Nuclear Physics Research Committee (NPRC), 1961 – 1975
In 1960 the Director-General John Adams proposed a number of measures to define a global policy for the exploitation of the Synchro-Cyclotron and the new Proton Synchrotron. He decided to create three Committees, one for each experimental technique used:Emulsions : Emulsion Committee (EmC)Electronic : Electronic Experiments Commitee (EEC)Bubble Chambers : Track Chamber Committee (TCC)The recommendations of these three committees were then passed to the Nuclear Physics Research Committee (NPRC) under the Chairpersonship of the Director-General, which took the final decisions concerning the experimental programme and the facilities offered by the PS and SC accelerators. The NPRC took into consideration not only the scientific merit of the experiments proposed, but also their technical and financial implications and whether they were compatible with the other experiments in the programme.The members of the NPRC were the chairmen of the Emc, TCC, EEC, and the leader, or a representative of the Nuclear Physics (NP), Theory (TH), Proton Synchrotron (PS), Synchro-Cyclotron (SC), Data Handling (DD), Track Chamber (TC) and Nuclear Physics Apparatus (NPA) divisions.In addition to approving new proposals the Physics Committee and the NPRC regularly reviewed the status and needs of the various experiments in progress.In 1976 (end of the bubble chambers period) John Adams and Leon Van Hove rationalized the system, abolishing the committee system based on experimental techniques, and basing it instead on the machine.

Nuclear Structure Committee (NSC), 1964 – 1966
In 1964 Torleif Ericson, together with the head of CERN’s NP division Peter Preiswerk, proposed that the Director-General create a Nuclear Structure Committee (NSC). This was set up soon after with Ericson as Chairperson. The aim of NSC was to discuss and to decide on experimental proposals in the field of nuclear structure research; and to provide some co-ordination between the groups inside and outside of CERN that took part in the nuclear structure programme at the Synchro-Cyclotron (SC).This committee met only seven time before it merged in 1966 with EmC and was renamed the Physics III Committee (PH-III-COM). 1961196419661976EmCPH-III-COMSCCNSC1964Chairperson: Ericson, TWithout reference1965Chairperson: Ericson, TWithout reference1966Chairperson: Ericson, TWithout referenceNSC database

Research Board (RB), 1976 – Today
In 1976 the Research Board (RB) took over from the Nuclear Physics Research Committee (NPRC).The Research Board receives recommendations from all the CERN Experimental Committees, and takes decisions on them. Once approved, the proposals become part of the CERN experimental programme. The Research Board also decides on the accelerator schedules and requests for “Recognized Experiments” at CERN. 1976 – 1980Chairperson : Van Hove, LCERN-RB-01 to 48Fulltexts1981 – 1988Chairperson : Schopper, H FCERN-DG-RB-81-1 to 88-132Fulltexts1989 – 1991Chairperson : Rubbia, C1992 – 1993Chairperson : Rubbia, C / Darriulat, PCERN-DG-RB-89-133 to 93-206 Fulltexts1994 – 1998Chairperson : Llewellyn Smith, C HCERN-DG-RB-94-207 to 98-276Fulltexts1999 – 2003Chairperson : Maiani, LCERN-DG-RB-99-277 to 2003-355Fulltexts2004 – 2008Chairperson : Aymar, RCERN-DG-RB-2004-357 to 2008-398Fulltexts2009 – 2015Chairperson : Heuer, RCERN-DG-RB-2009-401 to 2015-459Fulltexts2016 – PresentChairperson : Gianotti, FCERN-DG-RB-2016-460 to 2025-xxFulltexts RB Database

Synchro-Cyclotron Commitee (SCC), 1976 – 1977
In 1976 (end of the Bubble Chambers period) John Adams and Leon Van Hove rationalized the system, abolishing the committee system based on experimental techniques, and basing it instead on the machine. The Physics III Committee (PH-III-COM) was renamed the Synchro-Cyclotron Committee. The SCC examined all experimental proposals for the SC and made recommendations to the Research Board, which replaced the NPRC in 1976.In 1978 SCC and Proton Synchrotron Committee (PSC) fused into the PS & SC Committee (PSCC) to advise on research at both machines (PS & SC). 1976Chairperson: V.

Track Chamber Committee (TCC) – Physics II Committee (PH-II-COM), 1961 – 1976
In 1960 the Director-General John Adams proposed a number of measures to define a global policy for the exploitation of the new Proton Synchrotron. He decided to create three committees, one for each experimental technique used:Bubble Chambers : Track Chamber Committee (TCC)Emulsions : Emulsion Committee (EmC)Electronic : Electronic Experiments Commitee (EEC)These three new committees were proposed to replace the Advisory Committee and Bubble Chamber Committee.The TCC functions were to propose to the Nuclear Physics Research Committee track chamber experiments to be carried out at CERN, and also to form a link between the European track chamber groups and the CERN Laboratory.The TCC came into operation in 1961, and met about once a month. It comprised a Chairperson (a senior physicist working on track chamber experiments, not on the staff of CERN) and members (representatives of CERN and other European track chamber groups (including picture evaluation groups)) wanting to use CERN facilities.After 1966 the TCC was commonly known as the Physics II (PH-II-COM). It considered and selected the proposals for experiments using the bubble chambers at CERN :2 m Hydrogen Bubble Chamber (HBC200)the 81 cm Hydrogen Bubble Chamber (HBC81)the Heavy Liquid Bubble Chamber (HLBC)In 1976 (end of the bubble chambers period) John Adams and Leon Van Hove rationalized the system, abolishing the committee system based on experimental technique, and basing it instead on the machine.

EEC and TCC merged to become the Proton Synchrotron Committee (PSC). 1961Chairperson: Gregory, B PIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-61-1 to 58Box: T0443Fulltexts1962Chairperson: Gregory, B PIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-62-1 to 54Box: T0443Fulltexts1963Chairperson: Gregory, B PIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-63-1 to 70Box: T0444Fulltexts1964Chairperson: Butler, C CIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-64-1 to 81Box: T0444Fulltexts1965Chairperson: Butler, C CIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-65-1 to 77Box: T0444Fulltexts1966Chairperson: Teucher, M WIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-66-1 to 60Box: T0445Fulltexts1967Chairperson: Teucher, M WIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-67-1 to 72Box: T0445Fulltexts1968Chairperson: Mulvey, J HIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-68-1 to 40Box: T0445Fulltexts1969Chairperson: Mulvey, J HIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-69-1 to 64Box: T0446Fulltexts1970Chairperson: Mulvey, J HIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-70-1 to 65Box: T0446Fulltexts1971Chairperson: Cresti, MIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-71-1 to 51Box: T0447Fulltexts1972Chairperson: Cresti, MIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-72-1 to 42Box: T0448Fulltexts1973Chairperson: Cresti, MIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-73-1 to 53Box: T0448Fulltexts1974Chairperson: Colley, D CIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-74-1 to 35Box: T0448Fulltexts1975Chairperson: Colley, D CIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-75-1 to 32Box: T0448Fulltexts1976Chairperson: Colley, D CIndex of TCC documentsCERN-TCC-76-1 to 15Box: T0448Fulltexts Source : CERN-344-Rev.4 ; CERN Courier, Vol.7, N°3TCC Database
