Priority I and II Experiments Approved at the March 16-17, 2020
ATLAS PAC Meeting

Because of the large number of high-quality proposals and the constraints on beam time, the ATLAS Program Advisory Committee (PAC) ranks the approved experiments in two categories: Priority I experiments are those that must be run at all costs, Priority II experiments are those that should be granted beam time if at all possible. Priority II experiments are approved for the present cycle of experiments, but can be run during the next PAC cycle as well if scheduling conflicts occur. If they cannot be scheduled during these two PAC cycles they will have to be resubmitted.

Below is a table with the proposals approved at the March 16-16, 2020 ATLAS PAC meeting. The last two columns indicate the number of days approved.
