Under normal operating conditions, IRAM schedules and completes between 40 to 60 projects during the winter period, with an elapsed time of at least two months between start and end of a project, on average. Selection is based on scientific merit, technical feasibility, and suitability for the instrument.
Details of the PdBI and the observing procedures are given in the
document
``An Introduction to the IRAM Plateau
de Bure Interferometer''.
