NuPECC HANDBOOK 2012 INTERNATIONAL ACCESS TO NUCLEAR PHYSICS FACILITIES IN EUROPE is an Expert Commitee of the European Science Foundation. Milano, April 16, 2012 Dear Colleague, on behalf of the NuPECC Committee I am glad to send you a copy of the NuPECC Handbook 2012 “International Access to Nuclear Physics Facilities in Europe”, edited by Gabriele – Elisabeth Körner. This handbook can also be found on the NuPECC web page at the address http://www.nupecc.org/pub/hb12/hb2012.pdf. As in the past, we hope that also this 6 th Edition will be useful to you.

Contrary to the previous editions, not only facilities active in basic nuclear physics research were considered, but also those applying nuclear physics methods in various other fields. The selection of facilities comprises all those involved in the infrastruc- ture projects within the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission, namely ENSAR, HadronPhysics, SPIRIT, ERINDA and CHARISMA, as well as all those regional and local facilities that play a major role in research and educa- tion. In addition to these existing facilities, the two nuclear physics projects on the ESFRI list, FAIR and SPIRAL2, are included. The compilation of addresses of Funding Agencies and nuclear physics institutes in the NuPECC Member countries e completes this contribution to the formation of a European Research Area. lu :B ur lo Co Gabriele-Elisabeth K¨orner Scientific Secretary of NuPECC ge pa ered numb odd- ook ndb Ha CC PE Nu 5 http://www.esf.org Fax: +33 388 37Phone: 05 +33 32 388 76France 71 00 F-67080 Strasbourg Cedex 1 quai Lezay-Marn´esia European Science Foundation science policy activities atESF the promotes European collaboration level. insations, research itself, academies in and funding learnedwhich of societies research are from and research 30 in funding countries.

The Committee is supported by its Subscribing Institutions which are in general Member Organisations of the ESF involved in nuclear science and research or research facilities. The Terms of Reference of the Committee and eventual changes are agreed by the ESF Assembly. Beyond the Terms of Reference of NuPECC, the Statute of the ESF shall apply where relevant. e Task lu :B The objective of NuPECC is to: ur lo • strengthen European Collaboration in nuclear science through the promotion Co 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 op- timisation of their usage; • provide a forum for the discussion of the provision of future facilities and in- ge pa strumentation; and • provide advice and make recommendations to the ESF and to other bodies on ered the development, organisation, and support of European nuclear research and numb of particular projects. odd- ook ndb Ha CC PE Nu 7 Membership The Members of the Committee shall be drawn among experts active in nuclear science and research and proposed by the Subscribing Institutions to NuPECC. They shall be appointed by the ESF Executive Council in general for a three-year period, after consultation between the Committee, the ESF and the Subscribing Institutions of NuPECC. The Committee Chairman shall be appointed by the ESF Assembly. The distribution of Members across the different European countries and organisations should aim to reflect the activities in nuclear science and research in the different scientific fields and the different countries. The ESF Executive Council may appoint one of its own Members as a Liaison Member. The ESF Scientific Secretary primarily concerned with nuclear science and nuclear research facilities shall act as the Liaison Secretary of ESF and attend the Committee's meetings to assist in its deliberations. The relevant ESF Standing Committee and NuPECC may appoint liaison members. The Subscribing Institutions of the Committee shall be involved in nuclear science and research or in multi-national nuclear research facilities in Europe and gener- ally belong to the Member Organisations of the ESF. Beyond these, a European institute or agency can be accepted as a Subscribing Institution of NuPECC if its statutes are consistent with those of NuPECC and the ESF. New Subscribing Institutions shall be appointed by the ESF Executive Council, e after consultation with the Committee and the existing Institutions. The term of lu Subscribing Institutions shall continue as long as the association of the Committee :B with the ESF is in effect. An Institution may withdraw from the Committee at ur lo the end of the financial year immediately following that in which it gives notice of Co the withdrawal. Modus Operandi The Committee shall coordinate its work through plenary meetings on a regular basis, at least annually, at which all business items shall be decided. The Com- mittee may set up a work plan for its term. The Committee may appoint its own Scientific Secretary and may set up a charter e for its modus operandi. ag dp re be um -n even ook ndb Ha CC PE Nu 8 Finance Inflow The Subscribing Institutions of NuPECC shall contribute to the basic budget of the Committee which shall cover its operational activities including the remuner- ation of the Committee's Scientific Secretary and its liaison costs with the ESF. The contribution of every Subscribing Institution shall depend on the number of Committee Members it nominates and supports. Members' travel costs for at- tending the Committee's regular plenary meetings shall be reimbursed directly by the respective Subscribing Institutions. In agreement with the ESF, the Committee may receive specific contributions from third parties or ad hoc contributions from Subscribing Institutions or from ESF Member Organisations. Changes in the basic budget shall be approved by the ESF Board. Financial modus operandi The Committee shall agree on an annual budget plan which is within the confines of the inflow from the Subscribing Institutions and/or third parties,and which takes into account the current economic environment. The Committee shall appoint a Treasurer who shall oversee its budget in close consultation with the ESF. e lu The financial commitments for the Committee's work shall be made by the ESF. The NuPECC budget is held on a special account established and operated by the :B ur ESF. lo Co Reporting and Advising The Committee shall report on a regular basis to the ESF and the relevant ESF Standing Committee(s). In providing advice and making recommendations to external bodies, the Com- mittee shall act responsibly and independently. It shall, as a constituent organ of the ESF, ensure, through the ESF Liaison Secretary, that the ESF Board and the relevant ESF Standing Committee(s) are consulted before the disclosure of such ge advice. pa ered Periodic Review; Renewal of the Committee's Association and Term numb 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. odd- Every renewal of the Committee's term shall be agreed by the ESF Assembly. ook ndb Ha CC PE Nu 9 Membership of NuPECC Fai¸calAZAIEZ Orsay (France) Maria BORGE Madrid (Spain) Angela BRACCO Milano (Italy) Gheorghe CATA-DANIL Bucharest (Romania) Philippe CHOMAZ Gif-sur-Yvette (France) Jan DOBES Reˇz(Czechˇ Republic) Antonio FONSECA Lisbon (Portugal) Jens Jørgen GAARDHØJE Copenhagen (Denmark) Sotirios HARISSOPULOS Athens (Greece) Tord JOHANSSON Uppsala (Sweden) Ari JOKINEN Jyv¨askyl¨a(Finland) Klaus JUNGMANN Groningen (The Netherlands) Bernd KRUSCHE Basel (Switzerland) Adam MAJ Krakow (Poland) e Djuro MILJANIC Zagreb (Croatia) lu Eugenio NAPPI Bari (Italy) :B Paul NOLAN Liverpool (United Kingdom) ur lo Joakim NYSTRAND Bergen (Norway) Co Thomas PEITZMANN Utrecht (The Netherlands) Achim RICHTER ECT* Trento (Italy) G¨unther ROSNER Glasgow (United
