It looks to me as if the @PID arrtibute is an attribute of the PROJECT 
element, not the EXPERIMENT element.

But also, I don't think <xsl:for-each> is necessary here:

<xsl:apply-templates select="EXPERIMENT">
	<xsl:with-param name="my_pid" select="../@PID" />
</xsl:apply-templates>

(NOTE: '../' might not be neceassry here, I can never remember!)

Also, I don't think its necessary to name this template; it can just match 
EXPERIMENT elemnts, can't it?
