Contribution to the future of GANIL

25. A new Interdisciplinary Irradiation Area at SPIRAL2

contribution

This contribution proposes an evolution of the current SPIRAL2 Phase 1 facility toward 1) a multiuser facility, 2) a broader scientific scope and 3) an increase of interdisciplinary applications with a potential high societal impact.

24. Addendum to the Contribution to the Spiro Committee on the Future of GANIL

contribution

In this submission a brief addendum is provided to discussions of possible scenarios for the future of GANIL, in terms of its evolution within a European context.

30. ARIBE in the "future of GANIL"

Letter of support form J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

28. Atomic and molecular collision physics at GANIL

contribution

Since about 35 years, the community of atomic and molecular collision physics has widely used the GANIL facility for countless experiments performed within numerous national and international collaborations. Recent reviews of the advances achieved at GANIL in this field are available here: X. Fléchard et al JPCS 629 (2015) 012001 and H. Zettergren JPCS 629 (2015) 012003. These experiments have...

15. Continue and impove the high-energy beams for radiation biology in GANIL

contribution

This is the letter from the teams using LARIA platform and the high energy beam lines in GANIL for Radiation Biology

21. Contribution to the Spiro Committee on the Future of GANIL

Nigel Orr (LPC-Caen)

contribution

GANIL was established some 40 years ago and has a long history of contributions to nuclear and heavy-ion physics and related applications. Over the last decade, GANIL has traversed a difficult period, in particular through delays to SPIRAL2, the cancellation of Phase 2 and the inevitable competition from facilities elsewhere. In this submission we provide some observations and...

12. DESIR@SPIRAL2

Bertram Blank (CEN Bordeaux-Grradignan)

contribution

36. Efforts towards the internationalization of GANIL

contribution

Efforts towards the Internationalization of GANIL
Submitted by the IDEAAL working group on internationalization of GANIL
This contribution aims at bringing to the attention of the committee the efforts made in the framework of the IDEAAL contract towards the internationalization of GANIL.

14. Future of GANIL – SPIRAL 2 as a radioactive ion beam facility

contribution

In this contribution, the nuclear physics community presents conceptual ideas for the evolution of GANIL. Given the time needed to bring such ideas to fruition – typically 10-15 years – it is clear that the work towards a future upgrade or new facility needs to begin soon. Two scenarios are outlined in the following. While the studies of each are at a very preliminary stage we believe each of...

13. How GANIL facilities and their programs improve our knowledge in neutron data related to heavy ions interactions, radioprotection, nuclear safety, calculation codes management and environment sciences

contribution

A. Thick Target Neutron Yields for radioprotection, Monte Carlo codes benchmarks and heavy ion accelerators operation and control
The neutrons are the major hazards in particle accelerator facilities. These neutrons are emitted by the interaction of accelerated ions (light or heavy) with different components of the accelerator (dipole, walls, Faraday chambers, Current measurement instruments...

26. Interdisciplinary research at GANIL

contribution

Since the creation of GANIL, the use of swift heavy ions by communities other than nuclear physics has been considered. Thus the CIRIL laboratory was created to host interdisciplinary experiments. In 1989, the construction of the medium-energy line (SME) renewed the interdisciplinary research, by allowing the addition of about 3000 hours of beam time for material irradiation and collision...

31. Letter of Intent

contribution

The Future of GANIL: A Contribution from Material Science

35. Material Science (inorganic) at GANIL

contribution

In materials science, many studies use GANIL ion beams to simulate irradiation conditions encountered in harsh, radiative environments, such as those in nuclear reactors, in accelerators or even in space. Another field for which GANIL beams are frequently used is defect engineering or, more generally, the use of swift heavy ions to modify materials in a beneficial (and controlled) way. What is...

27. Nuclear physics for basic science and applications

contribution

In this contribution, the DPhN presents its priorities for the evolution of GANIL. Saclay physicists are currently conducting experiments along three main scientific axes:
1) properties of nuclei at the extremes of isospin asymmetry, excitation energy and shape,
2) heavy and super-heavy nuclei at extreme masses,
3) neutron-induced reactions notably for the study of fission in actinides,...

9. Nuclear structure from electron-ion collisions

contribution

We propose to address fundamental questions on the structure of unstable nuclei with a focus on nucleon density distributions. Densities were investigated using electron-stable target scattering and give rise to a set of data founding our knowledge of the nuclear shape in the valley of stability. Similar detailed and precise information could be obtained for exotic nuclei with an...

contribution

23. Reacceleration of radioactive ions beams at Ganil

contribution

This document aims at describing the different physics programs that could be driven within the reacceleration stage of Radioactive Ions Beams (RIB) at GANIL in the future.

19. RFQ injector A/Q = 7 for the production of exotic nuclei using fusion-evaporation and multinucleon transfer reactions

contribution

Having a Q/A = 1/7 or 1/6 injector available as soon as possible is essential for S3 to be competitive for heavy and super-heavy nuclei studies. A higher intensity can be obtained for the heaviest beams with an injector Q/A = 1/7 compared to 1/6, but will not benefit to S3 in the medium term due to the limitations of the S3 electric dipole. In the longer term, it is imperative to increase the...

11. Search for New Physics beyond the Standard Model with precision measurements in nuclear beta decays

contribution

Nuclear Physics has played a major role in establishing the laws of physics at the most fundamental level and in shaping the Standard Model of elementary particles (SM). Notable examples include the discovery of maximal violation of spatial inversion symmetry, P, the left-handed vector axial-vector (V-A) nature of the weak interaction and the conservation of the vector current. Today, the...
