BNL Nuclear Physics PAC 2021 Charge and Agenda

* STAR: Beam Use Requests for Runs 23-25 
* sPHENIX: Beam Use Requests for Runs 23-25 
* CeC: Beam Use Requests 

The Beam Use Requests should be submitted in written form to PAC by May 6, 2022
The BURs should be based on the following number of cryo-weeks. The first number is the 
proposed RHIC run duration for scenario 1 and the second number corresponds to optimal 
duration (scenario 2) presented to the DOE-ONP in BNL’s FY24 Lab Managers’ Budget Briefing:
 
2023: 24 (28) 
2024: 24 (28) 
2025: 24 (28)
