II. JRA and networking

In 2002/3, when preparing the EURONS project, the nuclear-structure community in Europe had identified the following needs of high priority:

• Beams• Detectors and instruments• Reaction setups• Safety

• Co-ordination (synergies, strategies)• Mapping studies• Outreach

JRAs

Networks


BeamsISIBHI: intense primary beams efficient charged-particle

generation for accelerators study and optimize the charge

breeding process improve the beam quality and

purity

Charge Breeding: intense secondary beams

optimization of breeding efficiency narrow the charge state distribution optimize the purification

from rest gas contamination optimize the transverse and longitudinal emittance of the extracted beams

LASER: efficient use of ISOL beams new exotic and isomeric RIBs optimization of RIB time structure injection into ion traps or post-accelerators,

reduction of background in collinear spectroscopy,...)

universally applicable to improve the performance of the facilities.


Pooling of resources - GAMMAPOOLPooling of existing, not site-specific g-ray instrumentation in order to use it Europe-wide in a coordinated manner among 20 participanting institutes from 6 countries:

– Resources and campaigns: clusters, clovers, single-crystal Ge, electronics and other equipment forRISING @ GSI/FRS CLARA @ LNL/PRISMAJUROGAM @ JYFL/RITU

– New collaborations:Newgan @ GANIL, ORGAM @ ALTO, Euclides @ LNLAGATA: characterization of detectors

– Workshops: 3 workshops with >200 participants and ~120 contributions

....a good example, how one can achieve a high value with good co-ordination and rather little money

stopped beam, isomer and β-decay stud. neutron rich nuclei, reaction mechanism proton-rich very heavy nuclei


Identification and definition of needs and strategies - CARINA, TNET, SHE

e.g. CARINA: co-ordinate activities, research efforts and efficient use of existing experimental facilities for nuclear astrophysics

4 working groups established:• Astrophysics and nuclear models• Instrumentation• Link to EURONS large scale facilities• Link to European small scale facilities

2 workshops3 new collaborations established (JINA, EURISOL, ECOS)

.... a new degree of interaction for increased efficiency in nuclear astrophysics has been established


Mapping studies - NuPECC, EWON

• The mapping of the community at large, performed under the auspices of NuPECC are subject of two dedicated networks

• EWON has specifically addressed the eastern-European nuclear physics research potential with an emphasis on the candidate countries

• Enhanced involvement of more than 500 scientists• Look for actions necessary to improve the existing infrastructures • Exploit and promote the research

potential of “local machines”• Promote the high-level of expertise

of EWON scientists• Come up with ideas to be included

in future I3 => EWIRA• Interact intensively with NuPECC


Enhanced dissemination - PANSI3

A dedicated outreach activity • to reach the layman• to raise public awareness of

nuclear science in Europe• to disseminate EURONS results

......realized with a concerted networking effort

......published recently


....reaching the general public

EURONS monitoring: financial overview


Impact and future

• Applicationsdata, basic knowledge and techniques for spin-offs in– health, medicine– safety, security– producing and evaluating nuclear data and techniques for

applications, e.g. nuclear energy

• Society– outreach activities have prompted public awareness and have

attracted large interest (e.g. open-house days at various EURONS facilities)

– integral part of the EURONS activities: education of next-generation nuclear scientists, a great value for the society as a whole

• Future– all EURONS activities will continue in one or another way, ENSAR?– integration of east-European scientists from candidate countries– several long-term projects (NUSTAR@FAIR, SPIRAL-II, Eurisol...)

and many "small" laboratories increase future opportunities


Applications for the society

Health, medicineSafety, securityTrace analysisHigh-power X-ray imagingPolonium detection

on-line PET imaging using pulse shape analysis


Conclusions

EURONS activities have lead to an ... efficient use of existing resources... improvement of its facilities... increase of access in quantity and quality

EURONS has fulfilled its mission

EURONS has largely disseminated its achievements, more publications to come

EURONS is a managerial and scientific success, for the benefit of the facilities, the user community, and the public

As a pan-European project, EURONS has very successfully contributed to structuring the field, coordinating ongoing activities, promoting the most needed R&D, defining future needs of the nuclear-structure community in Europe

This community must be kept together by a successor project


Intense primary beams

High B-field (~3T), operated at 28 GHz

• compact source, permanent magnets Bmax=3T, Brad~1.7...2.2T highest field of a permanent- magnet trap

• commissioning has begun at the end of 2007, completion within next months• multi-purpose super-conducting ECRIS (MS-ECRIS)

• largest adjustable magnetic field ever achieved: Bmax=4T, Brad=2.7T, large ECR zone

• all components built, but magnets have not yet achieved the requested performances.

Simulations and tests at Grenoble, Groningen, Frankfurt, Catania to optimize E-field:• uniform field: ions weakly scattered,

strongly improved beam quality• non-uniform E-field: ions strongly scattered
