Project numbers
Project numbers have the following form:YYSZZZZZ.
The first two digits are indicating the year (e.g. YY=25 means year 2025), the third digit specifies the semester (S=1 or S=2) and ZZZZZ is a running number assigend to the proposal.
Typically this is a number between 1 and a few hundreds and it is this number by which the projects are identified in the beamtime schedule.
Besides being layed down in your personal proposal list in GATE, the project number is mentioned also in the allocation note.
