Official charge Berndt Mueller

For the Sept 10-11 meeting of the PAC I would like you to prepare the following documents and presentations:
 
STAR: Beam Use Request for Run-21 and Run-22
STAR and sPHENIX: Beam Use Requests for Runs 23-25
 
The BURs should be based on the following number of expected cryo-weeks:
2021:  24 (28)
2022:  20
2023:  24 (28)
2024:  24 (28)
2025:  24 (28)
 
Presentations only:
STAR: Update on spin physics and isobar run analyses
PHENIX: Update on ongoing analysis efforts and data archiving effort
sPHENIX: Update on EIC EoI based on sPHENIX
 
The Beam Use requests should be submitted in written form no later than August 31. 2020.
 
Thank you, Berndt
