Program Advisory Committee (PAC) 54

Jul 6, 2026, 7:00 AM → Jul 10, 2026, 7:00 PM US/Eastern

CEBAF Center (Jefferson Lab)

Pasquale Di Nezza

The 54th Program Advisory Committee Conference (PAC54) will take place July 6-10, 2026. The PAC will judge the technical and scientific aspects of submitted proposals and provide recommendations to laboratory management. New proposals will be recommended for approval only if they represent high-quality physics within the range of scientific importance represented by the previously approved 12 GeV proposals.

The event will be held in person with live presentations though the event will also be broadcast via Zoom

For any issues uploading a presentation, please contact doug@jlab.org.
