On October 1, 1999 the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) Project and the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) Department combined to form the Collider-Accelerator Department (C-AD) with former AGS Chair Derek Lowenstein as the new C-AD Chair. This transition marks the beginning of a new era of accelerator operation and physics here at BNL and the C-AD combines the new skills developed during the long period of RHIC construction with the experience of both the RHIC and AGS groups in operating state-of-the-art facilities. Along with this transition came major new experiments for the Collider-Accelerator Department: BRAHMS PHENIX PHOBOS PP2PP RHIC SPIN and STAR C-AD Experiments – 2000 and 2001 Table of Contents Page: FY 1999 AGS Schedule as Run I FY 2000 C-A Schedule as Run II FY 2001 C-A Schedule as Run III FY 2002 C-A Schedule Planned IV C-A Complex FY2000-01 V C-A Complex FY2002 VI AGS Experimental Area FY 1998-1999 Physics Program VII AGS Experimental Area FY 2000 Physics Program VIII AGS Experimental Area FY 2001 Physics Program IX AGS Experimental Area FY 2002 Physics Program Proposed X Listing of Experiments XI Two-Page Summaries of Experiment 1 Listing of publications of C-AD experiments 73 Listing of experimenters in alphabetical order 133 This is the 16th edition.
