<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all FTBF and ITA users,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are now ready to start the scheduling process for beam time at FTBF and ITA for FY25. After the challenges of the FY24 run we are expecting accelerator operations to return to a normal level with beam available from ~November 2024 to
early July 2025. Please find below the scheduling request forms:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">MTest beam time at FTBF: <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_forms_d_1NWwlZh7ys04RWPC4XenrursBKtd3HrTXTb-5F-2D4k8oqmU_edit&d=DwMF-g&c=CJqEzB1piLOyyvZjb8YUQw&r=8RkWGK8Ehr23aQ4XZaeJkKhdeUjRK7rjlS9Ivaen0wM&m=RyiTwI300jijjIjrhq7ftlVVcJpY-qDtwPd-kGBCiDMvHUMAIYWQyAsz2Xuw9sb2&s=TBiiJTneoIjUn5AgSmYWMFH03xMWkVsFxjVfLvRwFc0&e=">

<p class="MsoNormal">ITA beam time: <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_forms_d_1sSHi-2DMH4H-5FEIzh2yRTDjKnFoha6UrGN-2DqtJPYN6Bb0Y_edit&d=DwMF-g&c=CJqEzB1piLOyyvZjb8YUQw&r=8RkWGK8Ehr23aQ4XZaeJkKhdeUjRK7rjlS9Ivaen0wM&m=RyiTwI300jijjIjrhq7ftlVVcJpY-qDtwPd-kGBCiDMvHUMAIYWQyAsz2Xuw9sb2&s=8Lj8sltZILAx690BkdjEDIMlNB1mFC-z0BOg5BojqZA&e=">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will let responses collect for a couple weeks and then start trying to fill a schedule. Responses by August 19 would be appreciated for initial consideration.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We expect that the MTest schedule will be very full this year based on interest already expressed and requests deferred from the abbreviated FY24 running. We appreciate everyone’s patience and flexibility in trying to optimize the schedule
as we may have to move or shorten some requests. We will work with larger experiment groups (ex: EIC, ATLAS, CMS) to internally prioritize their efforts as needed if conflicts arise.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This year we will look to formally schedule parasitic requests on the calendar in addition to the primary beam users to improve communication with running experiments and the sharing of the beam resource.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please reach out to <a href="mailto:ftbf_co@fnal.gov">ftbf_co@fnal.gov</a> with any questions you have and forward this announcement to anyone with interest who we have missed. We look forward to hosting many of you at FTBF/ITA in the
coming months.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
