3. CIME cyclotron RIB at 1-20 AMeV (up to 9 AMeV for FF)
SPIRAL2 under construction
Phase 1: High intensity stable beams in Experimental rooms (S3 + NFS)
Phase 2: High intensity Radioactive Ion Beams (RIB)
CIME cyclotron RIB at 1-20 AMeV (up to 9 AMeV for FF)
Phase 1
6.1014/s
6.1013/s
For those who don’t know what SPIRAL2 is, Let me start by a brief description of the project. Here you have the layout of this facility which will be constructed in two phases. The first phase which is presently in construction is based …
Attached to this fisrt phase, two new experimental are also under construction : one dedicated to NFS and the other which will host the new S3 spectrometer, I will describe later.
The second phase which in the detail design phase, will concern the production building …. New DESIR facility recentky funded …
This facility will deliver in a near future, both high intensity stable beams and and intensity of radioactive beams.
Here you have the layout of the facility
Phase 2

14.5 A.MeV HI (1mA)
RIB Production Cave
Up to 1014 fiss./sec.

7. The French Doctoral System
Doctoral Students are registered in an « Ecole doctorale » which is a part of the University. For example at University Paris-Saclay (Orsay) it is Ecole Doctorale PHENIX (reponsible Elias Khan;
Possibility for French and foreign students (even non-EU) with MSc to obtain a 3 year doctoral grant.
No tuition fees.
Very light coursework
Possible subjects and advisors are listed on the laboratory websites, contact in March at the latest.
Co-tutelle (double degree) possible with many countries.
