Results from the May 3, 2002 meeting of the ATLAS PAC

Due to the current fiscal situation, it was assumed that ATLAS will operate on a five day per week basis. Because of this unfortunate situation, a somewhat complex approval process was instituted. The PAC first identified those experiments that should be run at all cost (priority I). It also identified other experiments that should be granted beam time if at all possible (priority II). It is hoped that sufficient flexibility for efficient scheduling and operation has been achieved in this way. The combined list of the two types of accepted experiments is given here. The principal investigators have been notified of the status of their measurement.
