NuPECC's mission is “to provide advice and make recommendations on the development, organisation, and support of European nuclear research and of particular projects.” To this aim, NuPECC has in the past produced four long-range plans (LRPs): in November 1991, December 1997, April 2004 and December 2010. NuPECC in its October 2015 meeting at GANIL, Caen, France, initiated the process for the LRP 2017. It defined the subfields of nuclear physics to be addressed and established Working Groups spanning the areas of nuclear physics and its applications: Hadron Physics, Phases of Strongly Interacting Matter, Nuclear Structure and Dynamics, Nuclear Astrophysics, Symmetries and Fundamental Interaction as well as Applications and Societal Benefits. Two Conveners and three Liaison Members of NuPECC were assigned to each Working Group; their members selected to provide a broad representation of specific topics in the subfields. The Working Groups were given the charge to delineate the most exciting physics in their subfields, to highlight recent achievements, and to discuss the future perspectives. Draft reports from the Working Groups were presented and discussed at the NuPECC Meetings in 2016 at ECT* Trento in March, in Uppsala in June and finally in October in Vienna. A Town Meeting to discuss the NuPECC LRP was held at the “darmstadtium” in Darmstadt, from January 11 – 13, 2017. Preceding the Town Meeting, preliminary reports of the Working Groups were posted on the NuPECC website. The Town Meeting was attended by almost 300 participants, including many young scientists. The programme contained sessions on future large scale facilities, the European and international context including presentations from NSAC (USA), ANPhA (Asia) and CERN and reports by the conveners of the Working Groups. The Town Meeting concluded with a general discussion. Following the Town Meeting, NuPECC discussed and finalized the recommendations in its meeting at CERN in March 2017. During this period, the Steering Committee's members, acting also as editors, implemented changes and suggestions from the community made during and following the Town Meeting. The result of this effort is the present report “NuPECC Long Range Plan 2017: Perspectives for Nuclear Physics”. After a short introduction, the report features the recommendations of NuPECC for the development of nuclear physics research in Europe followed by a comprehensive chapter on large and smaller facilities, existing, under construction or planned. The various reports of the Working Groups follow in the order: Hadron Physics, Phases of Strongly Interacting Matter, Nuclear Structure and Dynamics, Nuclear Astrophysics, Symmetries and Fundamental Interaction and Applications and Societal Benefits. Europe has a leading position in nuclear physics research. It is through the collaborative effort of the European community that it can maintain such a position and advance it further. This Long Range Plan was established in a concerted action by the whole European nuclear physics community and its representative, NuPECC. It is strongly hoped that this plan will convince the European funding agencies to seek avenues for accomplishing the objectives outlined in the recommendations, in particular also those that go beyond the capabilities of an individual country. Angela Bracco (NuPECC Chair) for the NuPECC commitee Gabriele-Elisabeth Körner NuPECC Scientific Secretary INTRODUCTION SUMMARY AND In the following a list of recommendations resulting from interaction and discussion with the RECOMMENDATIONS community is presented.

Kato is the collaborative effort of eight laboratories, in which we treat the hierarchy of matter from hadrons to biomolecules with three underlying and interconnected key concepts: interaction, excitation, and heterogeneity. The project consists of experimental research conducted using cutting-edge technologies, including lasers, signal processing and data acquisition, and particle beams at RIKEN RI Beam Factory (RIBF) and RIKEN Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). • Physical and chemical views of matter lead to major discoveries Although this project is based on the physics and chemistry of non-living systems, we constantly keep all types of matter, including living matter, in our mind. The importance of analyzing matter from physical and chemical points of view was demonstrated in the case of DNA. The Watson-Crick model of DNA was developed based on the X-ray diffraction, which is a physical measurement. The key feature of this model is the hydrogen bonding that occurs between DNA base pairs. Watson and Crick learned about hydrogen bonding in the renowned book “The Nature of the Chemical Bond,” written by their competitor, L.

In the analysis of hadron reactions and their propertieds I emphasize similarities to the nuclear many body problem. 1. Introduction The vast majority of nuclear phenomena can be understood using protons and neutrons as elementary constituents and the nonrelativistic interactions among them. On the other hand, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), which is the underlying theory of nuclear forces, describes the relativistic quarks and gluons as the fundamental degrees of freedom.

Box 100 A-1400 Vienna, Austria COMPILATION AND EVALUATION OF FISSION YIELD NUCLEAR DATA IAEA, VIENNA, 2000 IAEA-TECDOC-1168 ISSN 1011–4289 © IAEA, 2000 Printed by the IAEA in Austria December 2000 FOREWORD Fission product yields are required at several stages of the nuclear fuel cycle and are therefore included in all large international data files for reactor calculations and related applications. Such files are maintained and disseminated by the Nuclear Data Section of the IAEA as a member of an international data centres network. Users of these data are from the fields of reactor design and operation, waste management and nuclear materials safeguards, all of which are essential parts of the IAEA programme. In the 1980s, the number of measured fission yields increased so drastically that the manpower available for evaluating them to meet specific user needs was insufficient. To cope with this task, it was concluded in several meetings on fission product nuclear data, some of them convened by the IAEA, that international co-operation was required, and an IAEA co-ordinated research project (CRP) was recommended. This recommendation was endorsed by the International Nuclear Data Committee, an advisory body for the nuclear data programme of the IAEA. As a consequence, the CRP on the Compilation and Evaluation of Fission Yield Nuclear Data was initiated in 1991, after its scope, objectives and tasks had been defined by a preparatory meeting.

Available from the National Technical Information Service, U.S. Department of Commerce, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161. * Ph.D. thesis ii Abstract This thesis consists of two independent parts; development of Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector (GRID) system and analysis of high-statistics data of strange meson reactions from the LASS spectrometer. Part I: The CIUD system is devoted to charged particle identification in the SLAC Large Detector (SLD) to study e+e- collisions at ,/Z = mzo. By measuring the angles of emission of the Cherenkov photons inside liquid and gaseous radiators, r/K/p separation will be achieved up to N 30 GeV/c. The signals from CRID are read in three coordinates, one of which is measured by charge-division technique. To obtain a N 1% spatial resolution in the charge- division, low-noise CRID preamplifier prototypes were developed and tested re- sulting in < 1000 electrons noise for an average photoelectron signal with 2 x lo5 gain. To help ensure the long-term stability of CRID operation at high efficiency, a comprehensive monitoring and control system was developed. This system contin- uously monitors and/or controls various operating quantities such as temperatures, pressures, and flows, mixing and purity of the various fluids.

Achieving an integrated understanding of PMI, however, is severely hindered by a dearth of in-situ diagnosis of the plasma-facing component (PFC) surfaces. To address this critical need, this thesis presents an accelerator-based diagnostic that nondestructively measures the evolution of PFC surfaces in-situ. The diagnostic aims to remotely generate isotopic concentration maps that cover a large fraction of the PFC surfaces on a plasma shot-to-shot timescale.
