Super Proton Synchrotron Committee

Super Proton Synchrotron Experiments Committee (SPSC) was set up in 1973 with Pierre Lehmann as its Chairperson.

The SPSC examined all experimental proposals and made recommendations to the Nuclear Physics Research Committee (NPRC).

In 1990 the management of the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) experiments was transferred to the SPSC which became the Super Proton Synchrotron and LEAR Committee (SPSLC). The mandate was to referee requests from the experimental teams on the basis of their physics interest and of the availability of the accelerators. SPSLC recommendations were sent to the Research Board (RB) for final decision. Its members met about five times a year.

In 1997 with the end of LEAR, the SPSLC reverted to its former name SPSC.
