and the ultimate performance and science reach of our approved experiments.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="font-family:TimesNewRomanPSMT"><span class="" style="font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size:14px">Because this is a general problem and not specific to a run group, in order to be allowed to submit the request for beam time you
should satisfactorily answer all the recommendations of the ERR except the one related to the impact of the background on CLAS12, and can submit a scheduling request if you pass your ERR, but with a condition. As soon as the problem will be clarified you will
be considered for scheduling. Until then all experiments with A>2 will be “on hold" “.</span></p>

<div class="">Of course, rightfully this issue should not only affect those run groups listed by her - after all, the potential problem was “discovered” by run group B. So it really affects all experiments with A > 1 (not 2), except for the ones that replace
the CVT (BONuS12 and ALERT). Even HD-ICE would be affected (because of the “D” and the Al wires)! </div>
