GANIL is placing France among the world’s leading research laboratories in the field of nuclear physics. Today, its ARIBE platform, an extension devoted to low energy beams, is due for modernisation aimed at multiplying the accelerator’s research capacity.
Industry, research, medicine, training… Two recent studies - one of them by the DRIRE, the other by the CESR - have highlighted Lower Normandy’s potential in the field of nuclear technology and recommend that its associated players join forces to form a regional centre of excellence.
Three researchers from the University of Huelva (Spain), the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the GANIL (CEA-CNRS), have put forward a mathematical method to improve the specification of the collective properties of systems which are as complex as atomic nuclei.
High precision innovative mechanical engineering
What do the aeronautical industry, Formula 1 racing, robotics and nuclear physics have in common? The skill and know-how of AR2P, an SME based in La Ferrière-aux-Etangs, in Orne.
Discovery of hydrogen 7, observation of the radioactivity of two protons… GANIL’s Caen-based researchers are constantly developing knowledge of the multifaceted science of nuclear physics.
