Objective of NuPECC
Strengthen European Collaboration in nuclear
science through the promotion of nuclear physics
and its trans-disciplinary use and application
in collaborative ventures between research groups
within Europe and particularly those from
countries linked to the ESF.

• In pursuing this objective the Committee shall
• define a network of complementary facilities
  within Europe and
• encourage optimisation of their usage
• provide a forum for the discussion of the
  provision of
• future facilities and instrumentation
• provide advice and make recommendations to the
  ESF and to other
• bodies on the development, organisation, and
  support of European
• nuclear research and of particular projects.
• The ESF Executive Council shall periodically -
  every five years
• at the latest - initiate a review of the work of
  the Committee and
• its association with the ESF (last review in 2003)

Members (1 -3/country) are elected by ESF on
recommendation of the funding agencies, terms 3

Fields relevant to NuPECC
and relevance to CH

• Not always clear, look at long range plan 2004
• Contents (blue strong activities in CH), e.g.
• QCD ChPT (BE), lattice, structure of the
  proton, hadron spectroscopy (ZH, BS)
• Phases of nuclear matter
• Nuclear structure
• Nuclear astrophysics (BS), dark matter (ETHZ,
  ZH)
• Fundamental interactions n oscillations (NE,
  GE, BE), 2b decay (NE)
• rare decays (PSI), conservation laws, cold
  neutrons (PSI)
• applications of nuclear science (e.g. nuclear
  medicine, atomic mass spectroscopy)

(QCD), Phases of Nuclear Matter, Nuclear
Structure, Nuclei in the Universe,
Fundamental Interactions and Applications.
After consultation with the community during
workshops and in a general meeting at Darmstadt.

• NuPECC recommends as the highest priority for a
  new
• construction project the building of
  the international
• Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research
  (FAIR) at the GSI.
• 950
  M
• nuclear structure physics and nuclear
  astrophysics with radioactive
• ion beams,
• ii) hadron physics with antiproton beams e.g.
  PANDA(charmonium)
• physics of hadronic matter at high density,
• iv) plasma physics at very high pressure, density
  and
• temperature and
• v) atomic physics and applied sciences e.g. FLAIR
  (antihydrogen)

Gluonic mesons e.g. hybrids Charm in
Nuclei Charmonium Hypernuclei D- and DS-Physics

• e.g. 30 GeV p
• up to 15 GeV/c antiprotons
• Panda pp, p A collisions on pellet target
• e.g. pp -gt cc (other than 1--)

SuperLEAR Programe 1992

• Construction of EURISOL,
• a high-power (MW), high-intensity linear
  accelerator
• facility for the production of radioactive
  beams
• 600 M.

• Pursue SPIRAL2
• (Système de Production dIons Radioactifs
  Accélérés en Ligne 2)
• at GANIL, Caen, and the Italian project SPES
  (Study and
• Production of Exotic nuclear Species) at Legnaro,
  as well
• as the further upgrade of REX-ISOLDE (High
  Intensity and
• Energy ISOLDE HIE-ISOLDE) at CERN .

• Installation at the underground laboratory of
  Gran Sasso of a
• compact, high-current 5-MV accelerator for light
  ions equipped
• with a 4parray of Ge detectors. Support AGATA, a
  4p array
• of highly segmented Ge detectors for g-ray
  detection

• Completion of the ALICE detector at LHC.
