Slide2

2ENSAR2 is the integrating activity (IA) for European nuclear scientists who are performing research in three of the major subfields defined by NuPECC: Nuclear Structure and Dynamics, Nuclear Astrophysics and Nuclear Physics Tools and Applications. Its core aim is to provide access to nine of the complementary world-class large-scale facilities:GANIL

(F), GSI (D), LNL-LNS (I), JYFL (FI), KVI-CART (NL), CERN-ISOLDE (CH), ALTO (F), IFIN-HH/ELI-NP (RO) and NLC (PL).These facilities provide stable and radioactive ion beams of excellent qualities ranging in energies from tens of keV/u to a few GeV/u and intense photon beams up to 20 MeV energy.

The

stable-ion beams range from protons to

uranium.

(Faiçal Azaiez)

Radioactive

ion beams are produced

using the

two complementary methods of in-flight fragmentation (IFF) and isotope separation on-line (ISOL), so

that several

hundred isotopes are available for the

users.

(Marek Lewitowicz)

The

high-intensity, high-energy photon beams are produced

by laser

back-scattering from high-energy electron

beams.

(Ioan Ursu)

Small-scale facilities

(Sotiris Harissopulos)

In

addition, the

infrastructure ECT* (I)

will provide

a unique

place for

meetings,

seminars and workshops to the community

.

NUclear STructure Astrophysics and Reactions

How are complex nuclei built from their basic constituents?

What is the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction and how does QCD constrain its parameters?

How does the three-nucleon force modify the picture?

How does the effective nuclear force depend on varying proton-to-neutron ratios?

What is the isospin dependence of the spin-orbit force?

How does shell structure change far from stability?

How does the role of N-N correlations in nuclei and nuclear matter change with isospin?

How to explain collective phenomena from individual motion?

What are the phases, relevant degrees of freedom, and symmetries of the nuclear many-body system? What are the limits of existence of nuclei? Where are the proton and neutron drip lines situated? What are the heaviest elements? How does the equation of state of nuclear matter change with neutron-to-proton asymmetry? How large is the symmetry energy and its density dependence? What are the properties of neutron-rich matter? Which nuclei are relevant for astrophysical processes, what are their properties and what is their impact on nucleosynthesis modelling?
