Institut de recherches subatomiques de strasbourg (IRES)

Objectif

Description:

The IReS is host to the EUROBALL IV gamma-detector array: a unique device in Europe, the only other with comparable efficiency being in the US. EUROBALL is equipped with an "inner-ball" multiplicity filter/calorimeter and can be coupled to12 different ancillary detectors, giving additional information or providing cleaner selection of the nuclei studied. Experiments on the array exploit ion beams from the VIVITRON: a 20 MV electrostatic accelerator providing continuous or pulsed beams of both heavy and light ions.

Other available detectors are: UK charged-particle array CHARISSA for cluster structure studies in nuclei; University of Manchester VELOCITY FILTER for studies of fusion Reactions; Strasbourg charged-particle array ICARE for studies of reaction dynamics; Franco-Belgian 100-element neutron detector DEMON, principally for studies of fission dynamics (not permanently on-site). There is also a dedicated ION-MATTER BEAMLINE for material studies, in particular radiation damage.

Application:

Experimental proposals are submitted twice-yearly to the Programme Advisory Committee; an international, independent group of specialists. Eligible teams with accepted proposals are invited to apply for financial support for some team members. Calls for proposals are announced at around six-monthly intervals in "Nuclear Physics News International", on the EUROVIV web page and by individual e-mail (for inclusion on the alias contact Neil.Rowley@IReS.IN2P3.fr).
