Intersecting Storage Rings Committee
ISR Experiments Committee (ISRC) was set up in 1968 with Willibald Jentschke as its Chairperson, five members from outside experimental groups, four members from CERN experimental groups and four members from the ISR Construction Departement. The ISRC's main task was to examine experimental proposals for the ISR and recommend a consistent experimental programme to the Nuclear Physics Research Committee (NPRC). The first meeting of the ISRC was held on 13 January 1969.
Unlike the Track Chamber Committee (TCC) and Electronic Experiments Committee (EEC), the ISR Committee was based on a machine rather than on a detector system. Following the example of the EEC, the ISRC held both open and restricted meetings. The former were devoted to the presentation and discussion of experiment proposals and progress reports on the programme. In the restricted meetings, the Committee decided on its recommendations to the NPRC.
In 1976 the NPRC was replaced by the Research Board (RB).
At the end of 1983 the ISR were closed down to liberate financial and manpower resources for the Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP) construction and ISR Committee held its last meeting on 27 January 1984.
