After long and fruitful discussions at the GC2 meeting in Budapest and in CC meetings of the work done by WP3 (Angela Bracco) a document was issued listing the opportunities for joint activities for NUPNET.

NuPNET “List of Opportunities”

FAIR: (FACILITY FOR ANTIPROTON AND ION RESEARCH) R&D for CBM, PANDA, NuSTAR and APPA (on silicon detectors, diamond detectors, silicon photomultipliers, neutron and gamma detectors and gas-detectors for ions)

SPIRAL2: The next generation of Radioactive Ion beams facilities of ISOL type for Nuclear Structure and reactions and Nuclear Astrophysics. For this facility developments and constructions of instrumentation (for the specific instrumentation projects S3, NFS, PARIS) are proposed.

ALICE: Phase of Nuclear Matter and High-energy Heavy ion collisions (data taking -analysis and detector-upgrade)R&D at ISOL facilities oriented toward EURISOL: Ion-source, target and instrumentation developments at SPES, HIE-ISOLDE, ISOL@MYRRHA, SPIRAL and SPIRAL2.

AGATA (European Gamma tracking Array AGATA): operation of the first phase and items for the other phases

Nuclear Astrophysics Instrumentation

Hadron Physics with electromagnetic probes (JLAB)

Nuclear Theory

•Evaluation and support of nuclear data base ENSDD

Under EURISOL_R&D one can envisage the following activities: • Target-ion-source developments Instrumentation: Detector development, separator, secondary targets

Development of the physics case

Under the envelope Detector R&D (common to a number of facilities) one can envisage the following activities: • High-resolution, high-rate silicon detectors (including experimental integration)• Large-area diamond detectors (TOF, beam monitors)• Micropatterned gas tracking detectors (GEMs, Micromegas detector)• Si-photomultiplier technologies• Neutron detectors • Gamma detectors for different facilities• Gas detectors for nuclear astrophysics and Nuclear Structure

List of Opportunities (cont’d)

Actions Aug 2009-Today and Beyond

For the few coming months, elaborating a common “Funding Action Plan”, a “methodology on the selection of trans-national Pilot Actions (Call procedure ,COMMON PEER REVIEW FOR SELECTION, FUNDING AND AGREED ON A MOU WITH INTERESTED PARTIES)Conclusion of this process a “List of possible joint actions to be funded” are among the main challenges for NuPNET and therefore actually being discussed.

What actions will NuPNET fund??

Goal: Decision at the GC3 meetingin Paris on 14-15 Oct. 2010
