SECAR Collaboration
The SECAR Collaboration (SC) is an open, active collaboration of
researchers who are passionate about measuring thermonuclear reactions
that drive some stars to explode.
New Members are welcome!
Please contact
Hendrik Schatz, SECAR Project Director, or
Michael Smith, SECAR Deputy Project Director,
if you are interested
in Joining the SECAR Collaboration and contributing
to the SECAR system and/or to the scientific program
utilizing this system.
As the SECAR Project nears completion,
we are transitioning the SECAR Collaboration from
a focus on system installation and
commissioning to a focus on proposing, running, and
analyzing experiments. We have now
established a
SECAR Collaboration Agreement
that codifies the activities and organizational
structure of the collaboration.
Proposals and the Collaboration
Here are the steps to prepare a proposal using the SECAR system
with members of the SECAR Collaboration:
• PI formulates experiment idea
• PI joins the SECAR Collaboration (SC) if not yet a member
• PI sends abstract of proposal to the SC
Executive Council one month before the facility proposal deadline
• PI uses
these resources
to help prepare proposal
• PI sends draft of proposal to the SC
Executive Council two weeks before the facility proposal deadline
• SC Executive Council distributes proposal
to all members of Core Group and invites them and their research
group members to join proposal
• SC Executive Council informs PI of
final list of participants
• PI can circulate proposal to others outside the SC as desired
• PI incorporates comments from SC Executive Council
and Core Group members if any
• PI finalizes proposal and submits by facility deadline
