NuPNET Launches its First Common Call for Transnational Joint Activities in Nuclear Physics from 14 February 2011 till 22 April 2011 at 5pm.
NuPNET’s first Common Call for transnational joint activities is being launched this Monday 14 February 2011 and ends on Friday 22 April 2011 at 5pm.
12 institutions funding Nuclear Physics in 10 European countries have agreed to fund this first call for transnational joint activities for a total amount of about 3.5 million Euros.
A CALL WITH THREE TOPICS
| According to the decision taken at the GC3 meeting at CNRS in Paris on 15 OCt. 2010, the following three topics have been voted unanimously:
|
1st topic: R&D on new detector technologies in nuclear physics.
- Gamma and neutron detection technologies based on new scintillation materials and new photo-sensors (APDs, SiPMs…)
- Silicon and micropatterned gas tracking detectors (GEM, Micromegas): low and high energy applications
- Large-area diamond detectors for beam monitoring or timing.
These technologies are important for the nuclear research infrastructures selected in the ESFRI list: FAIR and SPIRAL2.
2nd topic: R&D on EURISOL technologies: accelerator components, targets and ion sources.
3rd topic: Targeted action on nuclear structure and reactions theory.
