Description

The 54th Program Advisory Committee Meeting (PAC 54) will take place July 6 - 10, 2026. The PAC will evaluate 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 demonstrated by previously approved 12 GeV proposals. Proposal presentations will be delivered in person at the CEBAF Center auditorium and will also be broadcast via Zoom.
