So, to the Measuring Team Briefing Before the Experiment
摘要
The Facility has scheduled your experiment. Its staff will have worked hard to ensure the smooth running of its beamline and instruments for your experiment. So, onto the briefing. An onsite experiment tends to be more complicated than a remote experiment. The briefing will likely involve the Principal Investigator (PI) leading a discussion with the measuring team leader (a senior PostDoc let’s say) and PhD students. If I may use a military analogy the PI as Commander will describe the overall strategy and the measuring team leader is the General on the ground, with the troops, and who will decide tactics commensurate with achieving the overall strategy.
