GANIL / SPIRAL 2001 - 2007 Achievements , Highlights and Perspectives

Present status and perspectives of the study of drip-line nuclei at GANIL

The evolution of nuclear structure in the presence of en excess of neutrons or protons that means in nuclei far from the stability line is one of the main subject of scientific activity at GANIL the French national heavy-ion accelerator facility. Among the main goals of these research one should mention: study of the isospin-dependent term(s) in effective nucleon-nucleon interactions, links bet...

The radiation safety access control at GANIL and the RiB SPIRAL facility

The Spiral 2 Project: Construction Progress and Recent Developments on the Sc Linac Driver

The construction of the new Spiral 2 facility has started in Caen (France) at the National Heavy Ions Accelerator Center (GANIL). The SPIRAL 2 project is based on a multi-beam Superconducting Linac Driver delivering 5 mA deuterons up to 40 MeV and 1 mA heavy ions up to 14.5 MeV/u. Different Radioactive Isotope Beams (RIB) production methods are foreseen: 1) by fission process (up to 10fissions/...

LETTER OF INTENT R&D-FAZIA: Prototype development Phase (http://fazia.in2p3.fr) Spokespersons: G.Poggi and R.Bougault for the FAZIA

An R&D program devoted to new experimental concepts of identification in Atomic (Z) and Mass (A) numbers of light and heavy isotopes produced in nuclear reactions is the goal of the present R&D of the International FAZIA Collaboration (a full list of the members is given at the of this document). The aim is to build prototypes for a new detection array for coming European Radioactive Nuclear Be...
