Presentation of the Long Range Plan 2017 of NuPECC Bruxelles 27 of November 2017 Presentation of the Long Range Plan 2017 of NuPECC brochure Perspectives in Nuclear Science and its application Long range plan presentation – Bruxelles 27 November 2017 Angela Bracco

NuPECC Recommendations Complete urgently the construction of the ESFRI flagship FAIR and develop and bring into operation the experimental programme of its four scientific pillars APPA, CBM,NUSTAR and PANDA. Support for construction, augmentation and exploitation of world leading ISOL facilities in Europe. Support for the full exploitation of existing and emerging facilities Support for ALICE and the heavy-ion programme at the LHC with the planned experimental upgrades. Support to the completion of AGATA in full geometry

IMPACT The science programme was endorsed in the recent STFC IMPACT report (2016) which ranked our community first in the world by measure of impact and citations. This success has been made possible by: strong UK leadership driving experimental campaigns at a wide range of world leading laboratories Exploitation of state of the art equipment and techniques, much of which leverages previous capital investment by the UK Development of state-of-the-art instrumentation is vital for the subject to sustain itself and to maintain the viability and credibility of the UK for the future.
