Advisory Committee
During a meeting of the Scientific Policy Committee, it was decided to propose to the Council the creation of an Advisory Committee to advise the Director-General on matters concerning the utilization of the accelerators by visiting teams from Member States.
The Advisory Committee (AC) was established in June 1957. It met for the first time in August 1957 in the presence of seven visitors' representatives and ten CERN staff, when it discussed their proposals for Synchro-Cyclotron (SC) experiments. The committee met six times between 1957 and 1960.
With the Proton Synchroton (PS) commissionnned in November 1959, a global policy was defined for the exploitation of the SC and the PS. The Advisory Committee (for the SC, PS and Emulsion techniques) was taken over by three new experimental committees, one for each experimental technique used:
- Electronic Experiments Committee (EEC),
- Track Chamber Committee (TCC) for the Bubble Chambers,
- Emulsion Committee (EmC).
