I guess it is not surprising that utilizing the NSRL facility requires good coordination/planning within ePIC. From Xiaodong " The current beam rate for DOE laboratory is ~$4950/hr. A typical beam test will need roughly 4hr-8hr at least. For BNL/EIC related projects, please also contact EIC management, hopefully we could work out a BNL/EIC special rate, or for a parasitic test with detectors sitting off the beamline, on the side while other people have targets in the beamline. Please let me know what you intend to do, we can work out the beam details and possible funding support arrangement with BNL/EIC."

For truly parasitic testing to some BNL users (no impact on other uses) no charges have been done in the past. To have an extracted high energy beam is a possible future project coupled to some other upgrade. There is currently no definite timeline for this as the funding and interest needs still to be secured.

Subject: [[EPIC-Collaboration] ] Fw: please help us spread the words. Test beam available at BNL.NSRL

Dear Colleagues
Please find the attached announcement for test beam opportunity at BNL's NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL), that include 2.5 GeV proton and 1GeV/n ion beams and can be applicable for both detector response and radiation hardness studies. Possible reviving of 30GeV beam is also under discussion.
For question and beam request, please contact Dr. Xiaodong Jiang xjiang3@bnl.gov at NSRL (who also had extensive experience at RHIC and JLab experiments)
Cheers
Jin
