Priority I and II Experiments Approved at the March 23-24, 2018
ATLAS PAC Meeting

Because of the pressure on ATLAS beam time, the PAC ranked 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 (indicated in parenthesis) if at all possible. Priority I experiments are approved for the present cycle of experiments, but can be run during the next PAC cycle as well if scheduling conflicts occur. Priority II experiments that cannot be scheduled during the present cycle will carry over one more PAC cycle. However they will have to be resubmitted at the following PAC meeting if they have not yet been scheduled and beam time is still desired. It is our intention to try as hard as possible to schedule a full experimental program and to accommodate as many, if not all, of the priority II experiments.

Below is a table with the approved experiments in the ATLAS PAC meeting of March 23-24, 2018.
