PREFACE

The activities of the Institute through the 2008-2013 period, have been considerable and a detailed description of all of them would have resulted in a relatively large document. The choice was than made to only describe a selection of highlights from the activities of the different groups during the last 5 years. This concerns the five main scientific topics of the institute that are (see the topical chart of the institute):

1- Nuclear Structure and Dynamics: The highlights described in this section concern the activities of two different research groups ‘NESTER’ and ‘NIM’ (see the organization chart of the Institute)

2 - Hadrons and Hadronic Matter: This section concerns the three teams involved in the CLASS collaboration at JLab, the HADES collaboration at GSI and the ALICE collaboration at LHC. All three are part of the group ‘PHEN’.

3- Physics and Chemistry of Nuclear Energy: This section covers, on one hand, activities related to Nuclear Data and Simulations of novel option for nuclear energy production within the group ‘PACS’ and, on the other hand, all the activities that are performed within the ‘RC (Radio-chemistry group)’

4- Astrophysics: This section concerns nuclear astrophysics research activity at the group ‘NESTER’, the astro-chemistry activity at the ‘NIM’ group and the astro-particle activity within the ‘AUGER’ collaboration in the group ‘PHEN’.

5 - Theory: This activity concerns mainly the ‘Theory’ group.

Beside these five scientific topics a multidisciplinary activity based mainly on the use of accelerated nano- particles with the TANDEM accelerator at ALTO is also described.

Two additional sections are devoted in the document to summarize the activities related to:

1-Accelerator physics and technology

2- Detector technology, instrumentation and data acquisition and processing

A separate paragraph gives a status report and highlights from the main facilities in the Institute such as ALTO, SUPRATECH and CACAO.

The activities on ‘Dosimetry’ in one hand and on ‘Safety and Radiation Protection’ on the other hand as well as an overview of the activities within the ‘Communication’ group are summarized in separate paragraphs. A short paragraph is also given in order to remind the vital activities for the running and functioning of the institute that are covered by the Administration, Logistics and Infrastructure Division (DALI). A special attention was given these last years for continuous training of the personnel. This is motivated by the importance of keeping and passing over the expertise as well as of helping identifying promotion perspectives for all categories of employees (see chapter 14).

A self-evaluation is proposed in chapter 15. This self-evaluation is largely based on the conclusions of the evaluation of our activities by the Scientific and Technical Advisory committee of the Institute.

For each of the activity reports various information is given such as the dedicated human resources and their evolution during the last 5 years, scientific production in terms of publications, participation to conferences etc…

Nuclear Structure and dynamics

FTE : 23 – (78% E1 + 22% E6)

The activity of the IPN Nuclear Structure and dynamic groups has been mainly focused on the study of the structure of exotic nuclei following three main research axes: 1) the study of the evolution of spherical shell structure of nuclei far from stability; 2) the study of weakly bound states and nuclear resonances; 3) the study of the equation of state of nuclear matter as a function of temperature and nuclear asymmetry as well as the liquid-to-gas phase transition properties. During the last few years the rapid evolution and major breakthroughs realized in these fields of research were made possible thanks to the availability of new radioactive beams both in France and abroad. The group has a decisive influence on this evolution: indeed, some of the members of our group are involved in the management and the exploitation of ALTO (Accélérateur Linéaire et Tandem à Orsay) which allows in particular the production of very neutron rich nuclei from photofission using ISOL (Isotopic Separation On Line) technique. The study of rarer and shorter-lived nuclear structures requires also a constant improvement in the quality (in terms of efficiency, resolution, granularity, dynamic range etc) of the detectors installed at different facilities like MUST2. During the last years, MUST2 has entered an active exploitation phase and has delivered (and is still delivering) quantities of data.

In the meanwhile an important effort is realized in developing state of the art detection equipment in the framework of SPIRAL2 and other large European infrastructure. The group is actively involved in the SPIRAL2 project and particularly in the DESIR, FAZIA, GASPARD, PARIS and S3 projects.

From N=40 to N=50 and the creation of spin-orbit shell gaps (TEAM E1)

Nuclei in the mass region spanning from N=40 to 50 and close to the Z=28 shell closure have attracted considerable experimental and theoretical interest in recent history of nuclear structure. Studying the gap between the ν1g9/2 and ν2d5/2 orbitals which corresponds to the N=50 shell effect and its evolution between N=40 and N=50 is essential to understand the formation of this magic closure ― and more generally the origin of the strong gaps associated to spin-orbit magic numbers throughout the whole nuclide chart, to which 3-body terms of the N-N interaction are now thought to play a key role. Our group has initiated two complementary experimental programs consisting in approaching 78Ni following two paths: (1) along the Z=28 line: with the in-flight technique at LISE/GANIL, (2) along the N=50 line with the ISOL technique at ALTO.

+ 72,74 Lifetime measurement of the 21 state in Zn A Recoil Distance Doppler Shift (RDDS) measurement of the lifetime of the first excited 2+1 state in 72,74Zn has been performed at the LISE spectrometer at GANIL. We expected in that way to get a more accurate evaluation of the B(E2) values than those obtained from the previous scattering cross-section measurements which are generally sensitive to the energy regime and/or model dependent in some way. Having direct access to the lifetime values allows to get free from any assumption on the spectroscopic + quadrupole value of the 2 1 state (as generally needed in cross section measurement) which are rendered particularity hazardous in a region of transitional nuclei characterized by subtle and complicated collective effects.

The nuclei were created following fragmentation of a 76Ge primary beam, with the secondary beam undergoing inelastic scattering on a CD2 target. Gamma-rays were detected with the EXOGAM array. The + 72,74 fragments of interest were selected through the LISE spectrometer. The lifetimes of the 2 1 states in Zn were determined to be 17.9(18) and 27.0(24) ps, which correspond to reduced transition probabilities B(E2; 2+1→ 0+) = 385(39) and 370(33) e2 fm4, respectively. This information is decisive in completing the existent body of data demonstrating a rapid structural change, and maximization of collectivity at N=42 in the Zn, Ge, Se nuclei. We suggest then for the first time, with great clarity, that at N=42 one finds complete gamma softness: this is something that will no doubt spur further experimental investigation. One of the main challenges in this work was to get a more accurate and less model dependent value of the B(E2,2-- >0) of those nuclei as respect to any previous work. This was the central subject of the PhD of B. Mouginot defended on December 17th 2010, and has given rise to publication in Physical Review C (vol. 85, 0544321, May 2012).

This figure shows the B(E2) systematic from Ni to Se (Z=28 triangles, Z=30 circles, Z=34 squares, Z=34 diamonds), the values obtained from our data are represented by the superimposed red circles, a systematic local maximum is observed at N=42.

β-decay study of 84Ga using the first ALTO laser ionized beam The nuclear structure group has continued the fruitful program with the PARRNe mass separator on line with ALTO. This program, initiated already some 10 years ago is dedicated to the study of the N=50 shell evolution towards 78Ni. During the commissioning of the ALTO laser ion source in year 2011, an isotopically pure beam of very neutron rich 84Ga (Z=31,N=53) was successfully produced, at full primary electron beam intensity (≤10 µA, ≤50 MeV). After selective ionization, extraction at 30 kV and mass separation through the PARRNe mass separator, the beam was collected on an Al-coated Mylar tape. In that way, 84Ga sources were created and evacuated cyclically by moving the tape in order to enhance the activity of interest as respect to the daughter decays. Two coaxial Ge detectors in close geometry were used for the detection of γ-rays and γ-γ coincidence measurement, and a 4π plastic detector for b-tagging. Improved level schemes for 83,84Ge and 84As were obtained.

A new residual interaction suitable to describe those nuclei within a shell model approach, and using 78Ni as a core, was developed in close collaboration with the Strasbourg-Madrid group. This was an update of the interaction used in [K. Sieja et al. PRC 79, 064310 (2009)]. The maximum of collectivity which was predicted at Z=32 from beyond mean field approach [Bender et al. Phys. Rev. C 78, 054312 (2008)] and experimentally confirmed in our previous work [Lebois et al. Phys. Rev. C 80, 044308 (2009)] emerges also naturally in this shell model approach. It manifests itself through the gamma softness of 84Ge, confirmed from the present work, but it does also ―rather unexpectedly― through an apparent breaking of the intermediate core-particle coupling picture, in contradiction with earlier work of our group [O. Perru et al. Eur. Phys. J. A 28, 307 (2006)].

Breakdown of the Z = 8 shell closure in unbound 12O (TEAM E1)

Mirror symmetry is a fundamental feature of atomic nuclei. Recent experimental studies have shown that the conventional magic numbers disappear in neutron-rich regions at N = 8, 20 and 28. Theoretical works point to various underlying mechanisms, while the validity of the mirror symmetry of these effects at extreme conditions of isospin and binding energies remains an open question, limiting predictions for very proton-rich nuclei. We experimentally investigated the mirror symmetry in the shell quenching phenomena between 12O with Z = 8 and its mirror partner 12Be with N = 8.

The systematics of the low-lying excited states in even-even nuclei provides a sensitive probe for the evolution of the shell structure. The anomalously lowered excited states in 12Be are known as a manifestation of the breakdown of the N = 8 shell closure. For 12O, however, experimental difficulties have hampered establishing the level scheme. The advantage of the (p,t) reaction is the sensitivity of the angular distributions to the transferred angular momentum. An observation of the characteristic distributions provides a firm confirmation of a new state as well as a reliable determination of its spin-parity.

The experiment was performed at the GANIL facility. The secondary 14O beam at 51 AMeV was produced in the SISSI device and delivered to the hydrogen target located at the scattering chamber of the SPEG spectrometer. The ejectiles were detected by SPEG or by a Si ΔE-E telescope provided by RIKEN to select 10C produced in the decay of 12O. The energies and angles of the recoiling tritons were measured by an array of four MUST2 telescopes located 30 cm downstream of the target.

12 The excitation energy (Ex) spectrum of O, produced from TKE and θe of recoiling tritons, is shown in Fig. 1. A sharp peak is clearly observed at 0 MeV, which corresponds to the ground state of 12O. One can see another peak at around 2 MeV, indicating an excited state of 12O. A Gaussian fit to the spectrum gives a peak energy of 1.8(4) MeV.

Differential cross sections deduced for the observed states are shown in Fig. 2 as a function of the center- of-mass scattering angle (θcm).

12 + + 14,16 The Ex of the O excited state is remarkably smaller compared to the second 0 and first 2 states of O (Ex ~ 6 MeV) with a firm shell closure at Z = 8. In marked contrast, it is much closer to those of the mirror 12 + + 12 partner Be at Ex ~ 2 MeV. The lowering of the 2 and 0 states in Be is attributed to significant neutron sd-shell configurations. The lowered excited state in 12O thus indicates that the proton shell closure at Z = 8 is diminishing. This demonstrates the persistence of mirror symmetry in the disappearance of the magic number 8 between 12O and 12Be.

New highlights from multifragmentation studies (TEAM E6)

Extended studies of the multifragmentation phenomenon on Xe+Sn central and Au+Au mid-peripheral collisions brought new insights on multifragmentation and the related liquid-gas type phase transition of nuclei. The heaviest fragment detected in the decay of quasiprojectiles produced in intermediate energy Au+Au collisions appears as an order parameter of the transition. Its distribution has been observed to be bimodal. This feature is expected as a generic signal of phase transition in nonextensive systems. An estimate of the latent heat of the transition was extracted, 8.1(±0.4)stat(+1.2 -0.9)syst MeV/nucleon (PRL103, 2009, 072701). In addition, from the freeze-out properties of multifragmenting quasi-fused nuclei and using a new quantal method based on proton transverse momentum fluctuations to extract the temperature, constrained caloric curves (relation between the temperature and the internal energy of a system) have been built. At constant average volumes caloric curves exhibit a monotonic behaviour whereas for constrained pressures a backbending is observed. Such results support again the existence of a first order phase transition for hot nuclei (Phys. Lett. B723, 2013, 140).

To initiate studies to be pursued with future exotic beam facilities, isospin effects on multifragmentation properties were investigated thanks to nuclear collisions between different isotopes of xenon beams and tin targets. In central collisions leading to multifragmentation, the mean number of fragments (Z≥5) and their mean kinetic energy increase with the neutron-richness of the total system. Comparisons with a stochastic transport model ruled out secondary decays as the origin of the multiplicity increase and showed that is manifests the effect of the symmetry energy on the multifragmentation process (PRC86, 2012, 044617).

Search for α-condensate state in 12C (TEAM E6)

The nuclear reaction 40Ca + 12C at 25 MeV/nucleon bombarding energy was used to produce states theoretically predicted as α-particle condensate states. Under the assumption that equal values of kinetic energy of the emitted α-particles represent a sufficient criterion for establishing the existence of α-particle condensation, it was shown that 7.5 ± 4.0% of events corresponding to the 12C Hoyle state decay fulfill this criterion; this is the first direct experimental indication of α-particle condensation in nuclei. In addition the presence of direct α decays from a linear α-chain (9.5±4%), as recently theoretically mentioned, was found (Phys. Lett. B705, 2011, 65).

X-ray fluorescence measurements: a powerful tool to probe super heavy element stability (TEAM E6)

For highly fissile nuclei, the relative weights of long lifetime components (LLCs-typically longer than 10-18 s) in the fission time distribution are strongly correlated to the fission barrier heights. Consequently fission time measurements can be used to probe the stability of nuclei in the super heavy element (SHE) region and localize possible islands of stability far beyond the point reachable today by synthesis experiments.

Fission time measurements undertaken at Ganil using the blocking technique in single crystals have evidenced LLCs with significant probabilities for Z=120 and Z=124 nuclei formed in 238U +Ni and 238U+Ge reactions [Phys. Rev. Lett. 2008 101 072701]. To get an indisputable confirmation and to extend further our exploration, we have recently used a completely independent method, based on fluorescence yield measurements. This technique derives average fission times of compound nuclei from the yield of characteristic X-rays arising from the decay of atomic inner shell vacancies created during the collision, provided the fission times are in the same range than the vacancy lifetimes.

We used in a first 238U+64Ni experiment a dedicated set-up providing us with the fission fragment detection angle, energy and atomic number. Three planar germanium detectors were used for X-ray detection, located at the same polar angle with respect to the beam direction, but at different azimuthal angles allowing to explore various relative angles with respect to the detected fragment directions.

X-rays characteristic of the element Z = 120 have been sought in coincidence with fragments detected between the grazing angle and 70°. In the whole Z range of fission-like fragments arising from complete capture reactions (either complete fusion followed by fission or quasi-fission reactions) a broad peak located around 200 keV - the expected value for K X-rays from Z=120 - has been observed after a proper unfolding procedure allowing to discard the random events in the X spectra.

Due to the Weisskopf broadening of the lines resulting from the finite fission time of the nuclei, no peak can be observed in the X spectrum for emitter's lifetimes shorter than 10-19s. Therefore, quasi-fission processes cannot contribute to the observed peak. The position, width and magnitude of this peak as recorded with the three germanium detectors clearly demonstrate that it is dominantly populated by XK emission characteristic of the element Z=120. A quantitative analysis led to a minimum mean fission time of 2.5 × 10−18 s. This work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 122701 (2012)], cross-checking our previous blocking fission time results, provides us with evidence for transiently formed unbinilium atoms characterized by their electronic inner shell structure.

Recent Hartree-Fock-Bogolubov calculations at finite temperature [ Journal of Physics: Conf. Series 282, 012009 (2011)] taking into account the quite different evolutions with temperature of the pairing energies involved at the saddle deformation and at the ground state configuration are possibly able to account for the sizable proportions of LLCs measured in the fission time distributions. X-ray fluorescence technique gives thus now access to studies of the stability of nuclei that cannot be reached nowadays by synthesis experiments.

Hadronic Physics

FTE : 30,75 – (100 % E2)

Hadronic physics studies the structure, the properties and the interactions of the hadrons in terms of quarks and gluons. The underlying theory is the Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD) which, according to the domains of energy/distance, baryonic density, temperature… leads to a multitude of phenomena: from the confinement of quarks and gluons inside the nucleons which form ordinary matter, to the quark gluon plasma where the latter appear as a soup of (quasi-) free elementary particles.

In the domain of nucleon structure, an important experimental program which has been conducted for many years at the electron accelerator of the Jefferson Lab (USA) with its 6 GeV beam and which will be continued with its upgrade at 12 GeV, consists in measuring the Generalized Parton Distributions (DVCS experiments) which characterize the momentum-position correlations of the quarks inside the nucleon.

The HADES experiment (at GSI, Germany), with several GeV heavy ions beam on fixed targets and the detection of leptons pairs, aims at measuring the effect of the nuclear medium on the properties of hadrons. IPN Orsay is involved in the PANDA collaboration with the goal, in particular, of measuring the time-like electromagnetic form factors of the proton.

At extremely high temperatures and energies (several TeV), the ALICE experiments, following the NA50 and PHENIX experiments, studies the quark-gluon plasma.

Study of nucleon structure at Jefferson Lab (TEAM E2)

Understanding the structure of hadrons, in particular the nucleon, in terms of quarks and gluons (their spatial distribution, their contribution to the nucleon momentum and spin...) is one of the most important challenges at the intersection of nuclear and particle physics. Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs), introduced 15 years ago, provide a universal description of the partonic structure of the nucleon. In a certain kinematic regime GPDs contain the ordinary parton distributions measured in Deeply Inelastic Scattering (eN->eX) and describing the longitudinal momentum distributions of quarks in the nucleon. GPDs also contain the form factor information measured in elastic scattering (eN->eN) describing the spatial distribution of charges in the nucleon. Experimentally, we can access GPDs by electron scattering of protons and neutrons in exclusive reactions (where all the final state is identified) of high momentum transfer Q2. The simplest of such processes is Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS), corresponding to the electroproduction of a photon off the nucleon (eN->eN ).

Hall A In 2010 two new experiments concerning the study of GPDs took place in Hall A at Jefferson Lab. The goal of these experiments is to perform a Rosenbluth separation of the DVCS cross section on the proton and on the neutron. The dependence of each term of the cross section as a function of the momentum transfer Q2 between the electron and the proton allows testing the region of applicability of GPDs to DVCS. At high Q2, each term of the cross section is related to a distinct combination of GPDs. A new experiment has been approved and is in preparation in Hall A for the 12 GeV Upgrade. With the equipment of the previous experiments and the new beam energy available at JLab after 2014, E06-12-114 is going to extend the kinematic coverage of present measurements to a much larger domain.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 53 janvier 2013

Hall B Data taken in Hall B with the primary goal to extract DVCS asymmetries and cross sections have also been exploited to analyze the exclusive electroproduction of π0. Differential cross sections were measured at 2 2 2 2 more than 1800 kinematic values in Q , xB, -t, and f, in the Q range from 1.0 to 4.6 GeV , -t up to 2 GeV , and xB from 0.1 to 0.58. Structure functions (σT+εσL, σTT, σLT) were extracted as functions of -t for each of 2 17 combinations of Q and xB. The data were compared directly with two theoretical calculations including both longitudinal and transversity GPDs, which are normally neglected at leading order. Inclusion of only longitudinal GPDs very strongly underestimates σT +εσL and fails to account for σTT and σLT, while the inclusion of transversity GPDs brings the calculations into substantially better agreement with the data. The results confirm that exclusive π0 electroproduction offers direct experimental access to the transversity GPDs.

In addition, the E05-114 experiment ("eg1-dvcs") took place in Hall B using the same detection equipment than the one used during e1-dvcs, with the addition of a longitudinal polarized proton target. The new data from eg1-dvcs will allow to extract, for the first time over a large phase-space, the target spin asymmetry, observable related to GPD Ĥ, as well as the double spin asymmetry (beam and target).

Neutron detector for CLAS12 ((TEAM E2)

Our group is spokesperson within the CLAS collaboration of experiment (Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering on the neutron with CLAS12 at 11 GeV), which has been approved by JLab. This experiment aims at extracting for the first time the beam spin asymmetry of this reaction in a large phase-space. In order to make an exclusive measurement of nDVCS with a deuterium target, it is very important to be able to detect the recoil neutron, as well as the scattered electron and photon. It is therefore necessary to build a neutron detector that will fit into the central part of the future CLAS12. This Central Neutron Detector (CND), shown in figure 1, must allow the determination of the polar and azimuthal angles of the neutron, the measurement of its energy, as well as to separate neutrons from photons through time of flight measurements. At present, we have started the detector construction phase.

HADES experiments at GSI: the role of baryonic resonance in dilepton production at 1-3.5 AGeV (TEAM E2)

The High Acceptance DiEelectron Spectrometer (HADES) installed at GSI in Darmstadt was designed to investigate dielectron production in heavy-ion collisions in the 1-3.5 AGeV range, aiming at studying the properties of vector mesons (ρ,ω) in the hot and dense nuclear medium. Proton-nucleus reactions are also investigated to probe the cold nuclear matter. Moreover, the experimental program also comprises elementary reactions (pp, quasi-free np and a project of measurements with a pion beam) to study more selectively the different dilepton sources. Finally, HADES experiments are also very successful for studying + - 0 the production of hyperons (Σ(1385), Λ(1405)) and strange mesons (K , K , K S, Φ, Ξ) either in pp collisions or in nuclei. The IPN team contributes to the whole program, with a stronger involvement in the analysis of elementary reactions and the preparation of experiments with a pion beam.

After the analysis of the e+e- inclusive production in pp and quasi-free pn reactions at 1.25 GeV as well as in pp reaction at 3.5 GeV, the pp reaction at 2.2 GeV has been studied. As shown in figure 1, a good agreement of the e+e- invariant mass distribution with a cocktail of dielectron sources simulated with the Pluto event generator is achieved, except for invariant masses between 0.45 GeV/c2 and 0.65 GeV/c2. A similar behavior had been observed in p + p reactions at 3.5 GeV. This effect is interpreted as being due to the coupling of the ρ meson to baryonic resonances (D13(1520), P13(1720), ...), which leads to a distorted ρ meson spectral function, even in elementary reactions. This confirms that a detailed understanding of these couplings is a prerequisite for any conclusions on in-medium mass modifications in nuclear matter. In fact, baryonic decay processes like R → Ne+e- (Dalitz decays) include R →Nρ→ Ne+e- decays, when electromagnetic transition form factors in time-like region are used. Calculations of the dilepton yields within this approach have been performed for the different energies, using the extended Vector Meson Dominance (VMD) model and the two-component model. The analysis of the exclusive channels pp→ppe+e-, pn→pne+e- and pn→de+e- are also on-going to isolate this baryonic contribution.

The HADES experiment in pp and pn reactions also produced new inputs to the databases. The cross- sections for meson production can be extracted from the analysis of either dielectron or hadronic channels measured by HADES. Figure 2 shows, for example, the inclusive and exclusive π0 and η production cross sections, in comparison to existing data. These data constitute valuable inputs for the modeling of proton- nucleus and heavy-ion collisions in the few-GeV regime. Cross-sections for ω and ρ productions have also been obtained at 3.5 GeV. Finally, two PDG entries in 2012 were provided by HADES measurements, for the η→ e+e- branching ratio (new upper limit BR < 5.6 ×10-6) and the new measurements of the Σ(1385) mass and width.

Concerning heavy ion reactions, after the first results obtained with the C+C systems at 1 and 2 AGeV, the system Ar+KCl has been studied at incident beam energy 1.76 AGeV. A large excess is observed with respect to a superposition of elementary collisions in the dielectron invariant mass range 0.15

The cold nuclear matter has also been investigated, using the reaction p+Nb at 3.5 GeV. The advantage of + - the HADES experiment is the possibility to measure e e pairs at low momenta (pee<0.8 GeV/c), which have a higher probability to originate from the dense phase. Indeed, a strong increase (of a factor 1.5 ± 0.3) of the dielectron yield with respect to p+p collisions is observed for such low momenta in the HADES data. This enhancement is located below the vector meson pole and can be interpreted as being due to the coupling of the ρ meson to baryonic resonances produced in secondary π-induced reactions. Simultaneously, a strong absorption of the ω meson is observed, but no distortion of its spectral function.

Charmonia studies in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC with the ALICE muon spectrometer (TEAM E2)

The IPNO ALICE team has been involved in the ALICE project since its early days. Our main research topic is based on the study of quarkonia production measured with the muon spectrometer. After the first pp collisions at √s =7 TeV delivered by the LHC at the end of 2009, the years 2010 and 2011 saw a series of new exciting results. In particular, we studied the first Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV. Two dedicated runs took place in November 2010 and 2011. The successful strategy taken to hunt for the Higgs particle, implied that 2012 was dedicated to the pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV. Early 2013 will be devoted to the highly anticipated p-Pb run before the long shutdown. A pilot p-Pb run already took place in mid- September this year.

Pp measurements at LHC in 2010 and 2011 In 2010, the LHC delivered pp beam at √s = 2.76 and 7 TeV. The inclusive J/ψ measurements were performed in pp collisions at √s = 2.76 and 7 TeV. The integrated and differential cross sections were evaluated down to pT=0 in two rapidity ranges, |y| < 0.9 and 2.5 < y < 4, in the dielectron and dimuon decay channel, respectively. The measurement at √s = 2.76 TeV, which is the same energy as in Pb-Pb collisions, provided a crucial reference for the study of hot nuclear matter effects on J/ψ production. The first inclusive J/ψ measurement at forward rapidity was the subject of B. Boyer's PhD thesis (2011).

The J/ψ polarization was measured in pp collisions at √s = 2.76 TeV. This measurement is important because it allowed us to put constrains on quarkonium production models. Note also that the first quarkonia cross section measurements suffered from a large systematic uncertainty associated to the unknown polarization at the time. Our study provided the first J/ψ polarization measurement at the LHC and was published in Physical Review Letters. It was the subject of L. Bianchi's PhD thesis (2012), carried out in collaboration between the IPN Orsay and the INFN Torino.

Pb-Pb measurements at LHC in 2010 and 2011

In 2010, the LHC delivered Pb-Pb beam at √sNN = 2.76 TeV. The quark gluon plasma produced in such energetic collisions has a volume two times greater than the one produced at RHIC, and a lifetime approximately 40% longer. Previous measurements at SPS and RHIC energies did not allow to draw a consistent picture of the J/ψ production and its dependence with the collision energy.

Two main scenario were predicted by different models for the expected behavior of the J/ψ production at LHC energies: either a stronger suppression due to the higher energy density reached in the system or an enhancement due to the possible recombination of the numerous charm and anti-charm quarks.

Figure 1 presents the inclusive J/ψ nuclear modification factor (RAA) measured by PHENIX and ALICE. The RAA is defined as the ratio of J/ψ production measured in Pb-Pb collisions divided by the one measured in pp collisions, normalized by the mean number of binary collisions expected in given centrality class. In the most central collisions (higher values of dNch/dη) the J/ψ RAA measured in ALICE at forward rapidity is greater than the one measured by the PHENIX experiment, indicating that the J/ψ produced at LHC energies is less suppressed. These are key results in the context of heavy ion collisions at LHC, seeing that ALICE is the only LHC experiment capable to measure J/ψ at forward rapidity down to pT = 0 in heavy ion collisions. Our results were published in PRL and the IPN team played a major role in this analysis.

Figure 1 : Inclusive J/ψ RAA as a function of the midrapidity charged-particle density measured in Pb-Pb collisions in 2010 at √sNN = 2.76 TeV compared to PHENIX results in Au-Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV at midrapidity and forward rapidity.

Simulations for nuclear systems and scenarios: description of the Thorium cycle (TEAM E4)

The study of nuclear systems and their corresponding deployment scenarios is crucial to intelligent decision-making about the future of nuclear power. The available fissile and fertile resources must be used in the most efficient way over a period of time which may span many decades since the lifetime of any given reactor in the fleet can be as long as 60 years. The evolution of the reactor fleet and the construction and deployment of different types of fourth generation reactors must therefore be studied carefully in advance to assure an optimal use of resources. In addition, detailed simulations of the innovative reactors themselves must be carried out to understand the fluxes of material to reprocess and waste streams in the nuclear fuel cycle, along with a characterization of the reactors intrinsic safety and the proliferation resistance of its fuel cycle.

The MURE package is a precision research code based developed for the CNRS over some years by researchers at the IPNO and LPSC Grenoble designed to study innovative systems. It is a precision research code based around iterative use of the widely-used neutron transport code MCNP. MURE has three main functions: The first is the simplified generation of MCNP input files by providing a set of classes for describing complex geometries; The second is the simulation of the evolution of the fuel within a given reactor over a time period of up to several years, by successive steps of MCNP calculation and numerical integration of Bateman's equations; The last couples neutronics and thermal-hydraulics to enable calculations of reactor core temperatures and investigate transient phenomena (incidental and accidental scenarios). In addition of this main package, MURE also includes a graphical interface (MureGui) to visualize the complex data generated by the reactor simulations.

Of particular interest to the PACS group is the use of solid thorium-based fuels. Thorium is a fertile material that has the potential to improve the use of fissile resources and the significantly reduce the quantities of long-lived minor actinides waste produced in reactors.

Multi-recycling of thorium-based fuels in the PWR Calculations of matter fluxes and cycle at steady state have been performed in order to have a precise description of the Th cycle in PWR. It has been demonstrated that increasing quantities of 238U, the fertile isotope in standard UO2 fuel, are replaced by 232Th, then a greater yield of new fissile material (233U) is produced during the cycle than would otherwise be the case, leading to an economy of natural uranium of around 45% if the uranium in the spent fuel is multi-recycled. Minor actinide and plutonium waste inventories are reduced and hence waste radio-toxicities and decay heats are up to a factor of 20 lower after 103 years.

In order to evaluate the improvement thoriated Th-Pu fuels 13 different scenarios have been chosen in order to explore all the possibilities, including description from the mine to the waste storage.

Through the comparison of all the scenarios to the currently used MOX scenario (mono-recycling of the plutonium coming from the UOX – uranium oxide- fuel mixed with depleted uranium), we have shown that any gain from decreased resource consumption comes at the expenses of losses in other areas. Most of the time it is the safety parameters which are degraded. Only the use of the thorium/plutonium open fuel cycle without multi-recycling plutonium can offer a gain in decreased resource consumption without having any significant loss in other field, but the diminution of resources consumption is less than 10% for the once through cycle and the closed Thorium-Uranium cycle and creates large quantities of 232U which produces many added complications to the fuel cycle.

A particular attention was paid on a precise CHAracterization of Radioactive Sources related to radioprotection purposes.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 99 janvier 2013 Radio-protection measures needed in the nuclear fuel cycle require accurate knowledge of the radioactive sources involved. For innovative nuclear reactors such as GenIV designs, radiation sources (alpha, beta, gamma and neutron) in the spent fuel need to be calculated in order to understand the radio-protection needed in all aspects of the fuel cycle (transport, reprocessing, fuel fabrication, waste storage, etc.). For this purpose, a set of source characterization tools coupled to our code MURE has been developed: CHARS [2].

Its aim is to calculate source terms for radio-protection study on the back end fuel cycle. It process neutron, gamma, alpha and beta spectra of any spent fuel during cooling, before and after reprocessing.

Comparisons with the CESAR code, a qualified depletion code developed by the CEA and AREVA (COGEMA), as well as a benchmark calculation allowed to validate the CHARS code.

We have then demonstrate in a qualitative way that the fabrication of ThUO2 fuel is not possible on an industrial scale using currently used processes such as MIMAS in glove-boxes (due to the presence of 232U).

CACAO: Actinide chemistry and production of radioactive targets (TEAM E4)

The IPNO has developed a new installation dedicated to radioactive targets (thin layers) manufacturing and characterization: CACAO, Actinides Chemistry and radioactive targets at Orsay [1]. Primarily funded by IN2P3, with participation of the University Paris-Sud, CEA/DIF, GANIL and the PACEN interdisciplinary program, this unique facility in France is intended to provide in radioactive targets (thin layers) at least the French community which expresses the need. It is mainly nuclear physicists working on the nuclear power cycle, but also the community that studied the synthesis of superheavy elements and anyone who needs it. The team relies on the expertise and skills of the IPNO group "stable targets" as well as those of the radiochemistry group.

Figure 1: Gloves boxes for CACAO; the first one is dedicated to electro deposition techniques, while the second is devoted to alpha spectrometry. On the left part of the figure is the X-Y table used to alpha spectrometry which is coupled under the second glove box. A building was brought up to standard and is equipped to produce layers of actinides by electro-deposition. Quantities handled are limited by the use of glove boxes, see figure 8. Characterization of targets, that is to say, the measure of its chemical and isotopic content and its homogeneity is being carried out mainly by spectrometry α and autoradiography. Other techniques such as the ion beam analysis are being developed as part of a program carried out in close collaboration with the CSNSM.

During the construction phase of the building, which will be inaugurated in 2013 July the 12, CACAO has already achieved 235,238U and 232Th targets in the facilities of radiochemistry group (see figure 2). Meanwhile, an R&D program is underway both to develop new deposition techniques and to well characterize the targets.

Nuclear Data (TEAM E4)

To accurately model innovative reactors requires evaluated nuclear data libraries which contain information on mostly nuclear cross reaction sections, but also fission yields, neutron multiplicities, isotope decay data, etc. To address the nuclear data needs of a new generation of nuclear reactors and also improve the understanding and the modeling of fission reactions, the PACS group is engaged in several experimental activities: high-precision measurement of neutron-induced fission cross sections at the nTOF facility (CERN), recently complemented by angular distribution of fission fragments; determination of level densities and capture cross sections at Oslo; and measurement of fission production yields, including a complete identification in both mass and charge (a world first), at GSI.

Neutron-induced fission cross sections and angular distribution of fission fragments The perspective of a new generation of nuclear reactors requires a strong improvement of nuclear data, in terms of precision and energy range, for a wider range of nuclides. The nTOF facility at CERN has been designed to allow such measurements of neutron-induced reactions due to its long flight path (185m), its very broad neutron energy range (from 0.5eV to 1GeV), and its high neutron flux delivered in a very short time, particularly interesting for the study of radioactive isotopes. The PACS group has conducted several experiments at nTOF, leading to new measurements of the neutron-induced fission cross section of natPb, 209Bi, 232Th, 233,234,238U and 237Np with a precision of 4 to 6% and, for the first time ever, over an energy range of 0.7 eV to 1 GeV. Most of our results are found in general agreement with existing evaluations and bring improvements in energy resolution, background, and/or will lead to an extension of nuclear databases to high energies. Data obtained on 237Np, however, show a 5% larger cross section than the evaluated bases above the fission threshold, a significant discrepancy which shed doubt on previous evaluations and has led us to perform a specific work.

During last years, we have focused our work on the determination of the fission fragment angular distribution. We have measured this distribution for 232Th in two stages, at the end of 2010 and of 2011. Preliminary results are presented in figure 1: we provide accurate results around the second chance fission, where data were scarce and contradictory, and demonstrate that the anisotropy remains significant in the spallation regime.

New fission measurements took place during the fall of 2012, mainly with 234U and 237Np. Further measurements are expected in 2014 and onwards in the course of the next n_TOF campaigns.

Previous asymmetry measurements are also represented. The experimental setup is presented on the right, with the 10 detectors and the 9 targets set in- between, allowing simultaneous measurements of targets and/or nuclides.

Study Of Fission in Inverse kinematics with Aladin (SOFIA) Fission fragments, neutrons and gamma are important observables involved in the fission process and for the operation of nuclear reactors, as they are responsible for the distribution of the energy, influence the neutrons economy, and contribute strongly to the residual power of the reactors. Unfortunately, the current evaluations of the fission fragment yields are not very accurate (for example, 15% for 235U). In fact, the unambiguous identification of the heavy fission fragments is still impossible in standard experiment, where neutrons impinge on an actinide target. However such an obstacle can be overcome using the reverse kinematics technique, in which the actinide is accelerated, interacts with a dedicated target, creating an identified excited compound nucleus, which undergoes fission. In those experiments, the energy boost of the fission system can allow for a proper identification of the fission fragments. This technique was developed and extensively used at GSI in the 90's and at the beginning of the century. More recently, it was also exploited at GANIL at lower kinetic energy.

The SOFIA (Studies On FIssion with Aladin) collaboration was created in 2008 to realize a new generation of experiments on fission at GSI. Here, the fission is induced by coulomb excitation ie, via the absorption of a high-energy photon. The first and main aim of those experiments is to measure the fission yields for many fissioning nuclei from a radioactive, secondary beam with a target accuracy of only a few percents on the isotopic yields. Such a precision on the fission yields can only be obtained at GSI, due to the very high acceptance (85%) of the recoil spectrometer that we conceived, and the possibility to fully identify, for the first time even, the atomic mass and the nuclear charge of both fission fragments. The IPN group is responsible for the tracking of the nuclei, using multi-wires proportional chambers designed and constructed at IPN.

A preliminary analysis of the TWIN response demonstrates the complete separation in nuclear charge obtained for all fission fragments.

The first SOFIA experiment was realized in august 2012, see figure 2. We could measure the production yield for the fission of about 15 nuclei ranging from 238Np down to 200Rn. Although the data analysis has just started, online snapshots indicate that all the detection systems have matched their expected performance: time of flight measured with 30 ps resolution (a world first for heavy ions), positions better than 0,2 mm, and Z resolution close to 1%. Electronics developments are now foreseen in order to increase the counting rate in the next experiment, which is expected in 2014 and should be one of the first measurements using the new GLAD magnet.

Radionuclides in the fuel cycle and in the environment (TEAM E5)

Much of the work carried out in the radiochemistry group focuses on the acquisition of thermodynamic and structural data of actinides in aqueous solution in the presence of organic ligands, inorganic and more recently, with biological systems.

Actinides in the presence of organic and inorganic ligands The complexation of actinides at the oxidation state +III (Am, Cm, Cf), +IV (U, Pu) and +V (Pa) with organic ligands has been investigated using different experimental techniques and DFT calculations. The chosen complexing agents, see figure 1, belong to the family of polyaminopolycarboxylic (DTPA, NTA) and hydroxycarboxylic acids (citric). Due to the presence of numerous N or/and O donor atoms, these molecules display strong chelating properties towards metallic ions, especially actinides. They can therefore interact with actinides in some steps of nuclear fuel reprocessing, in environmental as well as in biological media.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 103 janvier 2013 Collected data by complementary techniques have allowed formation constants of actinides complexes to be determined as illustrated on the speciation diagram of the system Cm/DTPA. The thermodynamic study has been completed a theoretical approach. DFT calculations have been performed in order to optimize the spatial ligand arrangement around the actinide ion in the complexes. The relative stabilities of species as well as bond distances have been determined.

The interaction of uranyl ions with inorganic (Se(IV) and Se(VI), 79Se is a long-lived fission product) and organic (short-chain carboxylic acids and siderophores) ligands was also studied by affinity capillary electrophoresis and TRLIFS (time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy). Indeed, the approach developed can be a powerful tool for establishing the nature of interacting ligand species and the equilibria which occur between metal ion and ligand species in the solutions. The thermodynamic parameters of complexation reactions were determined as well.

Interaction between actinides and biological molecules Thestudy of interaction mechanisms between actinides and biological molecules such as peptides and proteins have been recently undertaken. The study examines the bio-availability of various elements (U, Np, Pu, Am andCm) and their speciation in the presence of biologically relevant ligands (decorporating agents, cellular transport proteins...).

It is of great interest to understand and predict the behavior of actinide in different mediaand assess their impact on these potential ecosystems. In particular, it is essential to apprehend the toxicological impact and detoxification mechanisms in order to propose new therapeutic treatment.

The proposed strategy consists of conducting both theoretical and experimental studies on simplified biomimetic peptide sequences, in line with complex systems such as proteins.

Fig 2: Uranium complex with phosphoserin fragments

As an example, the interactions between the hexavalent uranyl (UO22+) and an amino acid (L- phosphoserin), which takes part in numerous phosphorylated protein sequences, was examined using X- ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS uranyl LIII edge) on the MARS beamline at SOLEIL synchrotron see figure 2. The obtained results were coupled to uranium fluorescence and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This enabled us to precisely determine the complex structure imposed by the U-O apical bonds of this oxo-cation and the bond types formed with the oxygens of carboxylate and phosphate moeties in phosphoserin.

Osteopontin, a phosphorylated protein, was identified as a probable target of uranium internal contamination. To verify our hypothesis, the actinides complexes with the osteopontin's active binding site, mimicked by a phosphorylated hexapeptide were investigated and structurally characterized. Thanks to EXAFS, DFT, IR and ITC studies, we were able to precisely describe the uranyl coordinating peptide environment. The EXAFS investigation of the protein complexes (Th(IV) and uranyl) shows a similar environment to that obtained with peptides proving the pertinence of our approach.

Actinides at the liquid/solid interface Another approach to understand the behavior of radionuclides in the environment is to investigate the interactions of radionuclides at the liquid/solid interface. In particularly, EDF is interested by this approach in order to understand the behavior of radionuclides in production plants (operating) and deep geological disposal. Given the many parameters involved in these processes (solvent, temperature, effect of organic matter....), it is essential not only to collect macroscopic data, but also to conduct investigations at the molecular level in order to interpret results as rigorously as possible. Our methodology has thus been to correlate the most effective experimental studies (SLRT, EXAFS, IR, Micro-Calorimetry, ...) with molecular modeling to describe, as precisely as possible, the studied systems.

Results were validated by comparisons with the experimental data.Secondly, this approach was used, in predictive purposes, to study the effect of a temperature rise. The retention of the ion increases with the temperature and led also to a modification of the surface complex. Finally, a similar study has been performed at the water/NiO interface for which few experimental data are currently available.

Micro-calorimetric experiments have been carried out, together with spectroscopic techniques, in order to investigate the temperature influence on the U(VI) retention onto LaPO4 and Fe3O4 for temperatures ranged from25°C to 95°C. It was shown that changes in temperature (even for a relatively short range) could induce drastic changes in the nature of the sorbed species underlining the relevance of this approach, see figure 4. The investigation led to a complete experimental definition of the involved chemical equilibria making more reliable the extrapolation of the determined mechanisms to other chemical or temporal conditions.

Radionuclides chemistry in liquid ionic solvents (TEAM E5)

Since several years, radionuclides chemistry has been enriched by expanding its areas of research in complex solvents (or exotic) such as Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs) or molten salt at high temperatures. The main interest in the use of such solvents is their large electroactivity range which allows the formation of actinides in their metallic state. This property has numerous applications especially in the field of separation and synthesis of thin films of specific isotopes.

The behavior of radionuclides in solvents both at low and high working temperatures is currently studied in the RC group.

Chemistry of actinides and lanthanides in Room Temperature Ionic Liquids Our project is focused on the actinides and lanthanides electrodeposition in ILs either for separation process or targets fabrication which present real needs of physics collecting data on the electronuclear cycle, the astrophysics or the physics studying the super-heavy elements. Nevertheless oxygen can present a drawback for specific nuclear physical measurements. Actinides, highly electropositive elements, could be reduced until the metallic state in RTILs, known for their large electrochemical windows. As they constitute a real class of solvents (ionic character and coordinating ability), preliminary studies on the chemical (solvation effect, complexation reaction) and the electrochemical behavior (deposition potentials) of actinides in ILs are necessary. The solvent composition (IL cation, water content, complexing agents allowing the dissolution and the stabilization of actinides) is determined by spectroscopy and electrochemistry. For example, we have put in evidence the specific interaction of the IL cations with the U anionic species UVCl6-, UIVCl62-and UIIICl63-. The redox potentials of the UV/UIV and UIV/UIII systems and the stability of the U species (chemical forms and oxidation state) depend on the IL composition. Mechanism for the reduction of tetrahalogeno uranyl compounds has also been proposed. Without an excess of halide ions, the reduction leads to the formation of an oxide deposit at the electrode.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 105 janvier 2013 Chemistry in ILs at high temperature (molten salt reactor) The behavior of radioelements is studied in molten salts to propose a pyrochemical treatment of used fuel of GENIV systems particularly for the Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) system. The molten salt reactor system currently retained by the GEN IV International Forum is a fast breeder and closed fuel cycle concept (MSFR) developed by CNRS with a fuel salt constituted of LiF-ThF4-UF4 fused at 550°C.

The objectives of the reprocessing are (1) to extract uranium 233 produced in the reactor core (2) to extract fission products especially lanthanides (neutronic poisons) form the fuel salt. The lack of data directly transposable in the literature leads us to establish a database for solvation properties in the MSFR fuel salt. Using this database, the efficiency of the different steps of the reprocessing was calculated, leading to propose optimized parameters to perform the extraction steps. Implementation of special steps based on electrochemical reactions was required to ensure the recovery of all the liquid phases. .

Pyrochemical reprocessing is also an alternative to aqueous processes in the frame of GEN IV systems which are planned to contain high level of radionuclides (in particular minor actinides) increasing the radiolysis reactions in aqueous solution. All the research currently done in the frame of radionuclides behavior in molten salt are directly adapted to future needs in this domain.

Radionuclides in nuclear fuel and targets Nuclear fuel, before its introduction into a reactor core consists of a mixture of fertile and fissile materials. Different types of fuel can be considered for the reactor feed, mixed oxides (case of existing French reactor), nitrides and carbides. Carbides are particularly interesting for their use as targets for the production of radioactive ion beams for fundamental physics (in the case of SPIRAL 2 project in France).

The possibility of using a liquid fuel, constituted of a molten salt, is considered within the frame of GEN IV reactors studies, especially for one of the selected concepts, the molten salt fast reactor.

Synthesis of uranium carbide targets. Most targets for the production of radioactive ion beams are made of uranium carbides. Studies carried out in the RC group are focused on the fission products release properties as a function of the material structure which is essentially dependent on the synthesis method. Thus, three synthesis routes have been studied with three porosity lattices. Five samples of different characteristics have been prepared under primary vacuum at 1200 and 1550°C. Others experiments are planned in 2013 to test the reproducibility of the synthesis and also to determine thermochemical properties.

Molten Salt Reactor: LiF-ThF4-UF4 mixture as a liquid fuel The physical-chemical properties of the liquid fuel of the molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) constituted of LiF-ThF4-UF4 mixture have to be studied. Two points are of a major interest: the thermal stability of the salt studied by DSC/ATG measurements and its redox control. The influence of the fuel salt composition on structural material corrosion is evidenced on figure 5.

Fig 5: Corrosion of Ni-based alloys as a function of U(IV)/U(III) ratio

The redox control of the salt composition is a strong drawback which has to be managed by controlling the ratio U(IV)/U(III) (the two stable oxidation states of U) especially during reactor operation, the fission reaction causing an increase of the U(IV) concentration and an increase of the corrosion reactions.

FTE : 8.9 – (22.5% E1 + 67% E2 + 10.5% E6)

Different groups of IPN are involved in several fields of research related to astrophysics. They are trying to answer important questions such as the origin of the elements in the Universe, the origin of the interstellar molecules and the source of the very high energy cosmic rays. They are also trying to understand the matter properties in the core of supernovae as well as in neutron stars. Some works are based on theoretical models, but most of them are based on experiments, with accelerators such as ALTO or GANIL facilities, but also with astroparticle detectors such as the Pierre Auger Observatory.

The nucleosynthesis of the elements present in the Universe is a key problematic of nuclear astrophysics and the improvement of its knowledge requires on one hand more and more precise astronomical observations and on the other hand a better knowledge of the nuclear and electron capture reactions involved in the different processes at play in stars and during the big-bang nucleosynthesis. This latter task is the aim of the four first studies that are presented in this report. The next topic is dedicated to the better understanding of the supernovae explosion scenario. Then we have two contributions related to the study in laboratory of the interaction of cosmic rays with molecules of the interstellar medium. The last contributions concern the understanding of the origin of the highest energies cosmic rays, by analyzing the data of the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina.

Is the solution to the cosmological 7Li problem nuclear? (TEAM E1)

The Big-Bang model of the Universe is mainly supported by three observational evidences: the expansion of the Universe, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), and the primordial or Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) of light nuclei like 2H, 3,4He, and 7Li. The observed primordial abundances for D and 3,4He agree well with the predictions of the BBN theory together with the precise WMAP cosmic baryon density while 7Li observations lie below the BBN+WMAP expectations by a factor of ~ 4. This observed deficit constitutes the so-called lithium problem. Many scenarios were proposed to try to explain this anomaly but none of them was successful.

The main process for the production of the BBN 7Li is the decay of 7Be which is produced via 3He+4He reaction. Recently a group of astrophysicists suggested that possible missed resonant reactions destroying 7Be could be at the origin of this deficit such as the possible existence of a relatively narrow state around 15 MeV in the compound nucleus 10C formed by 7Be+3He or the existence of a non-observed state close to 8 MeV in the 11C compound nucleus formed by 7Be+4He.

We studied the high excitation energy region of 10C and the low excitation energy region in 11C via the reactions 10B(3He,t)10C and 11B(3He,t)11C respectively. The measurements were performed using a 3He beam delivered by the Tandem of the Alto facility and the emitted fragments were detected at different angles in the focal plane of the Split-Pole spectrometer. The results concerning 10B(3He,t)10C doesn’t support 7Be+3He as a possible solution for the 7Li problem. The measured energy spectrum didn’t show any isolated state close to 15 MeV belonging to the populated 10C. Only peaks belonging to unbound states in 16F, coming from an 16O contamination of the 10B target, are present in the region on interest (see figure 1).

Concerning 11B(3He,t)11C results, a new state in 11C was observed at 7.735 MeV excitation energy (See figure 2). However, a measurement with more statistics and at several angles is necessary to confirm the existence of this state and extract its spin-parity. A preliminary study of the effect of the state at 7.735 MeV in 11C, corresponding to the resonance energy of 192 keV in 7Be+alpha channel, in the nucleosynthesis of the primordial 7Li is under progress.

Study of destruction of 26Al in massive stars with the 27Al(p,p')27Al inelastic scattering reaction (TEAM E1)

26Al is a radioiosotope produced in a variety of stellar sites such as massive stars. It β+ decays to the first excited states of 26Mg which then de-excites to its ground-state emitting a characteristic γ-ray line at 1.809 MeV. The induced γ-ray emission and 26Mg excesses are observed since the late 70's thanks to gamma- ray and meteoritic observations, respectively. While γ-ray observations at 1.809 MeV are important for understanding the star formation history in massive stars association, 26Mg excesses observed in the first solids to condense in the Early Solar System are crucial to constrain the astrophysical conditions of our Solar System formation.

Production of 26Al in massive stars occurs at different stages of their evolution which includes core hydrogen burning, neon/carbon convective shell burning as well as explosive neon burning. For a typical 20 solar masses star, the 26Al yield is dominated by the explosive contribution. Recent sensitivity studies including a full nucleosynthesis network have shown that the 26Al(n,p)26Mg and 26Al(n,α)23Na reactions controlling the 26Al destruction are the most uncertain. Indeed an increase of a factor of two of these reaction rates reduces the 26Al production by a factor of two. The calculation of the reaction rates of these reactions relies on the precise knowledge of the position of the resonances in the 27Al compound nucleus above the neutron threshold (Sn = 13.05 MeV) as well as their associated neutron, proton and alpha partial widths. Only few resonances are known above the neutron threshold and the 27Al level scheme has been explored up to ~ 12.8 MeV excitation energy.

27 27 We used the inelastic scattering reaction Al(p,p') Al* at Ep = 18 MeV for a precision measurement of the 27Al excitation energies from the ground-state up to ~ 14 MeV. The inelastic protons were detected using the Splitpole spectrometer at the ALTO facility. Several field expositions were done ensuring an overlap between the different excitation energy range from the g.s. to the energy region of interest. Figure 1 shows the spectrum we obtain at θlab = 40° for energies above the neutron threshold. We checked that the observed peaks correspond to 27Al levels by comparing the observed and calculated kinematic shift between spectra at 40° and 45°. These levels are observed for the first time with a typical energy resolution of ≈ 11 keV. Vertical lines correspond to levels from potential 12C and 16O contamination; however background measurements with 12C and mylar targets did not show a significant contribution to the spectrum.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 142 janvier 2013 Coincidence measurement between the Splitpole and DSSSDs placed in the reaction chamber are foreseen to determine the proton and alpha branching ratio for the populated resonances.

Ion irradiation of carbonaceous interstellar analogues (TEAM E6)

A 3.4 μm absorption band (around 2900 cm-1), assigned to aliphatic C-H stretching modes of hydrogenated amorphous carbons (a-C:H), is widely observed in the diffuse interstellar medium, see figure 1, but disappears or is modified in dense clouds. This spectral difference between different phases of the interstellar medium reflects the processing of dust in different environments. Cosmic ray bombardment is one of the interstellar processes that make carbonaceous dust evolve.

The destruction of aliphatic C-H bonds by cosmic rays occurs in characteristic times of a few 108 years, and it appears that even at longer time scales, cosmic rays alone cannot explain the observed disappearance of this spectral signature in dense regions. In diffuse interstellar medium, the formation by atomic hydrogen prevails over the destruction by UV photons (destruction by cosmic rays is negligible in these regions). Only the cosmic rays can penetrate into dense clouds and process the corresponding dust. However, they are not efficient enough to completely dehydrogenate the 3.4 μm carriers during the cloud lifetime. This interstellar component should be destroyed in interfaces between diffuse and dense interstellar regions where photons still penetrate but hydrogen is in molecular form.

Statistical universal branching ratios for cosmic ray dissociation, photodissociation, and dissociative recombination of the C, CH and C3H2 neutral and cationic species (TEAM E6)

High velocity collision in an inverse kinematics scheme was used at the ALTO facility to measure the complete fragmentation pattern of electronically excited Cn (n = 2 to 10), CnH (n = 2 to 4), and C3H2 molecules. Branching ratios of dissociation where deduced from those experiments. The full set of branching ratios was used as a new input in chemical models and branching ratio modification effects observed in astrochemical networks that describe the dense cold Taurus Molecular Cloud-1 and the photon dominated Horse Head region. The branching ratios we obtained lead to an increase of the C3 production together with a larger dispersion of the daughter fragments. The introduction of these new values in the photon dominated region model of the Horse Head nebula increases the abundance of C3 and C3H, but reduces the abundances of the larger Cn and hydrocarbons at a visual extinction AV smaller than 4, as shown in figure 1.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 143 janvier 2013 We recommend astrochemists to use these new branching ratios. The data have been added to the online database KIDA (KInetic Database for Astrochemistry: http://kida.obs.u-bordeaux1.fr).

Constraints on the origin of cosmic rays above 1 EeV from large scale anisotropy searches in data of the Pierre Auger observatory (TEAM E2)

The large scale distribution of arrival directions of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) as a function of the energy is a key observable to provide further understanding of their origin. Above 0.25 EeV, the most stringent bounds ever obtained on the dipole component in the equatorial plane were already reported, being below 2% at 99% C.L. for EeV energies. Such sensitivity provides some constraints upon scenarios in which dipolar anisotropies could be imprinted in the distribution of arrival directions as the result of the escape of UHECRs from the Galaxy up to the ankle energy - a hardening in the energy spectrum located at 4 EeV. These upper limits are based on first harmonic analyses of the right ascension distributions in several energy ranges. The analyses benefit from the almost uniform directional exposure in right ascension of any ground based observatory operating with high duty cycle, but are not sensitive to an eventual dipole component along the Earth rotation axis. In contrast, using the large amount of data collected by the surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory, new reports were given, for the first time, on searches for dipole and quadrupole patterns significantly standing out above the background noise whose components are functions of the right ascension and the declination. Such studies require the control of additional systematic effects for estimating the exposure of the observatory in any direction of the sky, as well as the counting rates of showers.

In searching for dipoles and quadrupoles with an observatory at ground, it is necessary to account for the non-uniform and incomplete coverage of the sky. Doing so, there is no strong evidence of any significant dipole and/or quadrupole amplitude in any energy range above 1 EeV. However, since both the declination and the right ascension angles are expected to be randomly distributed in case of independent samples whose parent distribution is really isotropic, it is interesting to note that all reconstructed dipole declinations are in the equatorial southern hemisphere, and to note also the intriguing smooth alignment of the phases in right ascension as a function of the energy. Such a consistency of phases in adjacent energy intervals is indeed expected with smaller number of events than the detection of amplitudes standing-out significantly above the background noise in case of a real underlying anisotropy. This motivated us to design a prescription aimed at establishing at 99% C.L. whether this consistency in phases is real. The prescription will end once the total exposure since 25 June 2011 reaches 21,000 km^2 yr sr.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 144 janvier 2013 From these analyses, upper limits on dipole and quadrupole amplitudes can be derived at 99% C.L. They are shown in figure 1 for the dipole amplitudes, accounting for the systematic uncertainties. They have considerable astrophysical interest. For stationary sources of EeV-cosmic rays densely distributed in the galactic disk and emitting particles in all directions, it is apparent from the bands obtained in simulating the propagation cosmic rays in the Galaxy that amplitudes derived for protons largely stand above the allowed limits. Consequently, unless the strength of the magnetic field is much higher than generally expected, the upper limits derived in this analysis exclude that the light component of cosmic rays comes from galactic stationary sources densely distributed in the galactic disk and emitting in all directions. This is in agreement with the absence of any detectable point-like sources above 1 EeV that would be indicative of a flux of neutrons produced by EeV-protons through mainly pion-producing interactions in the source environments. On the other hand, if the measurements of the cosmic ray composition around 1 EeV results from a mixture containing a large fraction of iron nuclei of galactic origin, upper limits can still be respected, or alternatively a light component of extragalactic origin would be allowed.

Fig. 1: 99% C.L. upper limits on dipole amplitudes as a function of the energy. Some generic anisotropy expectations from stationary galactic sources distributed in the disk are also shown, for various assumptions on the cosmic ray composition (see text).

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 164 janvier 2013 Theoretical Physics Strongly interacting systems: from quarks to stars

FTE : 17.8 – (100% E3)

The theory group represents a broad effort to interpret and predict experimental data mostly in nuclear and hadronic physics and in domains at the interface such as nuclear astrophysics and neutrino physics. Our effort predominantly ranges from quark-gluon dynamics to few-nucleon systems to heavy nuclei and on to stars. The expertise of the group in many-body theories and techniques naturally leads us to explore other interdisciplinary connections: ultra-cold gases of bosonic and fermionic atoms are one of the subjects under study.

Strong interactions are described in the Standard Model by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), where the dynamics of quarks and gluons becomes non-perturbative as energies decrease. At distances larger than a tenth of a femto-meter or so, hadrons emerge as relevant degrees of freedom. The central goal of our theory effort is to understand how hadrons, especially nucleons, react to form nuclei and influence the larger structure of the Universe.

QCD and Hadrons (TEAM E3)

QCD forms the foundation of nuclear physics and our group has had high visibility in the community that strives to find implications of quark-gluon dynamics in nuclei. The starting point to tackle QCD at nuclear scales is quantum field theory in the non-perturbative regime. In asymptotic theory, it is known that non- perturbative phenomena can be linked to the behavior of the associated perturbative series, but it is much less understood how this link may be performed in quantum field theory. We have studied this link in simple models by using the recent mathematical techniques of hyperasymptotic theory. In the more realistic case of QCD, a difficult but essential constraint to implement is color gauge invariance. Some of our research has in fact focused on a gauge-invariant formulation of quark dynamics. Gauge-invariant quark Green's functions are being studied in the limit of a large number of colors and might explain the non-observability of free quarks. Despite such progress, the most successful method to calculate properties of the QCD spectrum and interactions at large distances continues to be simulations on a Euclidean space-time lattice.

QCD simplifies in the heavy quark limit, where quarks are non-relativistic and an approximate global symmetry related to flavor and spin emerges. The large energy scale introduced by the heavy quark mass also makes perturbative computations possible. We have developed an in-depth understanding of quarkonium production in proton-proton collisions at RHIC, the Tevatron and the LHC. A fixed-target experiment (AFTER) using the LHC proton and nuclear beams extracted by a bent crystal has been proposed, which would result in a significant increase of the heavy-flavor and quarkonium production yields compared to RHIC.

In nuclear physics it is the light quarks that play a dominant role, and another approximate symmetry of QCD, chiral symmetry, becomes important. It manifests itself through the interactions of the pseudo- Goldstone bosons of its spontaneous breaking (pions, kaons and eta). Much of the effort of the group has been dedicated to the dynamics of pions at both quark and hadronic levels. At the quark level, we have proposed a general framework for modeling nucleon-to-pion transition distribution amplitudes, an extension of the concept of generalized parton distributions, and extracting them from data.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 165 janvier 2013

At much lower energies, that is, momenta comparable to the pion mass, an effective field theory (EFT) — Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) — exists that systematically describes hadronic reactions in a controlled expansion in momenta. The available data on the strong and electromagnetic width of the Delta resonance was used at third order in the expansion to provide parameter-free predictions for various aspects of the spin structure of the nucleon, such as polarizabilities and moments of structure functions. The extension of ChPT to higher energies can be accomplished with the use of dispersion relations. We have carried out a dispersive analysis of the scalar and vector form factors of the long-lived kaon state using the KTeV data on its decays into pions and leptons, testing predictions of the Standard Model. Particularly important is the s-wave pion-pion interaction, where structure associated with a light scalar meson appears at relatively low energies. We have used chiral constraints in the Omnes method to extract information about light scalars, work that has shown how a systematic application of analyticity allows the extraction of the couplings of scalar mesons to quark-gluon operators from experimental data on the scattering on pseudo-Goldstone mesons. In addition, we have developed the tools to disentangle the final-state interaction from the Belle data on two-photon fusion into two pions.

Hadron dynamics can in principle be extracted from lattice QCD calculations as well as experimental data. EFT can be used as a tool to extrapolate lattice results to quark masses too low to be handled in such simulations, and as a result EFT low-energy constants can be determined. In the last few years we have looked at a number of processes where EFT can be matched to lattice data, with an emphasis on the properties of resonances and on the convergence of the theory in the strangeness sector.

Nuclear structure (TEAM E3)

The treatment of medium-mass and heavy nuclei represents the central part of our activities in nuclear structure. The use of a microscopic EFT interaction is not yet possible in these regions of the nuclear chart and phenomenological effective interactions are currently employed, especially within mean-field-based models. In the last two years several goals have been achieved in the group in the development of energy- density functionals (EDFs), in the formulation of beyond mean-field models, and in the application of these theories to the description of ground- and excited-state properties of stable and exotic nuclei.

EDF theories constitute a wider framework with respect to the mean-field approach and allow us to establish connections with density functional theories developed in condensed-matter physics and in chemistry. A considerable amount of work has been carried out on effective interactions in the context of EDF theories and, within the group, several different directions have been followed such as the effect of new spin-density dependent terms, of a surface-peaked effective mass, or in a complementary approach, a local functional has been obtained exploiting Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculations. Several nuclear states lie near thresholds and break-up into clusters. Investigations have been pursued in the last two years on alpha clusters and condensates in excited nuclei (such as the Hoyle state in 12C) and in low-density nuclear matter. In a relativistic framework, density-dependent meson-nucleon couplings have been introduced in the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory and have been applied to study the ground-state of deformed nuclei.

The group is very active also in two other aspects of nuclear interactions, tensor and pairing effects. For several decades the tensor contribution has been neglected in the most frequently used phenomenological interactions, Skyrme and Gogny forces. Nowadays, the impact of the tensor contribution is very much debated, especially in connection with the structure evolution of the isotopes that are located in the exotic regions of the nuclear chart. A new tensor term has been very recently introduced and tested for the Gogny interaction. The pairing interaction and the associated pairing correlations are also extensively analyzed. Some work has been devoted to the predictions of the size of Cooper pairs in superfluid nuclei, and to the analysis of the effects of pairing correlations on the incompressibility and the symmetry energy of matter. Some theoretical results obtained with combined structure and reactions calculations have indicated that pair-transfer reactions in very neutron-rich Sn isotopes are useful tools to investigate the surface/volume localization of the pairing interaction.

Similarly, our group is known for its expertise in low-lying and giant excitations in nuclei. This subject has been extensively analyzed with both non-relativistic and relativistic methods. A completely self-consistent RPA calculation with the Skyrme force have been achieved, a full calculation of the second random-phase approximation (SRPA) for the excited states of nuclei has been successfully applied to the description of the low-lying and giant resonances of several nuclei. Charge-exchange excitations have been studied in the relativistic framework. For the non-relativistic case, giant resonances as well as Gamow-Teller and spin-dipole modes have been analyzed with the Skyrme force. A new soft monopole mode has been predicted as an exotic breathing mode in Ni isotopes. As far as the low-lying dipole spectrum is concerned, pygmy resonances have been studied with both quantum (Quasiparticle RPA and SRPA) and semiclassical (Vlasov) models. A detailed analysis of the nature of the low-lying states has been carried out to identify the neutron and proton contributions and to investigate the collectivity of the states.

Nuclear reactions (TEAM E3)

Many fascinating aspects of the structure of atomic nuclei — from their extreme single-particle properties to their highly collective states — can be investigated through diverse nuclear reaction mechanisms such as fragmentation, induced fission, multi-nucleon transfers etc.

Heavy-ion fusion is also of enormous importance, being frequently used to create compound nuclei whose “evaporation residues” (left after rapid cooling by emission of neutrons, protons and alpha particles) could be super-heavy nuclei, or strongly deformed systems at very high spins, or nuclei with exotic neutron/proton ratios... The fusion reaction depends strongly on the internal structure of the colliding target and projectile, especially when they possess highly collective vibrational or rotational modes. Barrier distributions measured over many years in various laboratories worldwide confirm our understanding of fusion as an aspect of "quantal tunneling in the presence of an environment", a phenomenon arising in many other branches of physics and chemistry.

These successes allow us to exploit our results in areas where experimental data are particularly sensitive to entrance-channel effects, such as the spin distributions of very heavy nuclei, whose properties may yield valuable information on the single-particle states responsible for the existence of an "island of stability" for superheavy elements. But there remain important unsolved problems that we are actively studying, such as for instance, the rapid decrease of the fusion probability at energies far below the Coulomb barrier, the possible effect of the multiple weakly-coupled channels, or the preference for heavy systems for “quasi- fission” instead of an equilibrated compound nucleus.

Ultracold atoms (TEAM E3)

In spite of the important differences in typical energy and size scales, many analogies exist between nuclei and ultra-cold gases of trapped atoms.

In the last decade, experiments studying dilute gases of electrically neutral atoms in artificial optical or magneto-optical potentials made tremendous progress. In the case of fermionic atoms in a trap, the close analogy between these systems and nuclei where nucleons move in the mean field is evident. Many concepts of nuclear physics, such as pairing and collective modes, have also been studied in cold atoms, and a fruitful exchange between the two fields has developed. Recently, we were mainly interested in the transition from the hydrodynamic to the collisionless regime, as the temperature of the gas increases, the gas expands, and the collision rate of the atoms decreases. Good agreement with the experimentally measured frequencies and damping rates of quadrupole and dipole modes was obtained.

Another subject studied by the group is atoms with magnetic dipole-dipole interactions. This topic is very timely since the first degenerate dipolar Fermi gas was created only very recently. The dipole-dipole interaction is also interesting from the nuclear physics point of view, since it is very similar to the tensor force between nucleons. We have shown that in the case of dipolar atoms, a new instability of the Hartree- Fock ground state with a spherical Fermi surface can appear, which leads to the formation of a spin texture in momentum space.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 167 janvier 2013 Nuclear astrophysics (TEAM E3)

There are also many interfaces between nuclear physics and astrophysics, the most prominent being questions related to supernova explosions, the synthesis of elements, and neutron stars.

Type II supernovae occur at the end of the life of a star, but they are not yet fully understood; even in the most sophisticated simulations, the shock wave formed after the collapse of the star is insufficient to let the star explode. For the understanding of supernovae, the equation of state of dense matter is not the only relevant nuclear-physics input. Nuclear electron-capture cross sections was, for instance, studied in our group. They determine the electron fraction and hence the pressure in the core of the star in the pre- supernova stage, and the neutronization during the supernova explosion.

Supernova explosions of intermediate-mass stars leave behind neutron stars. By now, thousands of such stars have been discovered and properties like rotation period, mass, radius, temperature, age and magnetic field are known for many of them. Models developed to describe properties of nuclei could be applied for the understanding of dilute nuclei in the crust of neutrons stars within the Wigner-Seitz approximation. The superfluid properties of the crust, as well as the effect of huge magnetic fields of the order of 1018 Gauss that might be present in magnetars, are studied. The recent observation of a neutron star with two solar masses gives strong constraints on the equation of state in the core of neutron stars. In particular, at high densities, one expects that hyperons will appear in addition to neutrons and protons; this softens the equation of state, making it impossible to sustain such a massive star.

Neutrinos (TEAM E3)

Neutrino physics has strong links with astrophysics and cosmology. For instance, the fact that neutrinos carry away about 99% of the energy released in a supernova explosion clearly shows that they play a crucial role in understanding these explosions. We have studied how various aspects of matter-induced flavor conversion of the supernova neutrinos, especially in the presence of shock waves, turbulence, and collective effects, can be detected on earth and how this can be used to improve our knowledge of supernovae and the neutrinos themselves.

Moreover, we have also explored the possibilities of neutrino experiments on earth. Measurements of neutrino scattering from electrons, nucleons and nuclei offer a unique tool to search for physics beyond the Standard Model, to understand supernova explosions, and to perform nuclear structure studies. In particular, neutrino scattering from electrons allows electroweak tests such as a precise measurement of the Weinberg angle as well as lepton-flavor-violation searches. Neutrino-nucleus measurements with neutrinos in the low-energy range (a few up to 100 MeV) offer the opportunity to investigate the nuclear isospin and spin response, important for timely applications such as a precise calibration of supernova neutrino detectors and for double-beta-decay searches. We have calculated event rates corresponding to these processes expected at future facilities, such as the European Spallation Source (ESS).

The existence of “sterile” neutrinos is one of the key open questions in neutrino physics. Currently several neutrino oscillation experiments present anomalies that cannot be cast in the standard three-neutrino oscillation framework, while cosmological data also seem to give indications in such a direction. We have explored the possibility of measuring neutrino mixing parameters associated to sterile neutrinos using, as neutrino source, beta-decaying ions produced at radioactive-ion beam facilities. In particular we have shown that most of the sterile-neutrino mixing parameters indicated by the current anomalies can be explored if one reaches high intensities — for example of 8Li ions — on a target located in a spherical detector.

One example of highlight: Quantum liquid and cluster states in nuclei (TEAM E3)

The atomic nucleus is frequently described as a drop of quantum liquid. In particular, such liquid-like behavior explains nuclear fission, and applies especially to heavy nuclei such as uranium. The so-called liquid-drop mass formula is a typical nuclear physics textbook model. On the other hand, light nuclei can behave like a collection of tiny molecules, or clusters, made up of neutrons and protons. This molecular aspect at the femtometer scale makes it possible to understand the stellar nucleosynthesis of Carbon-12 and heavier elements such as oxygen.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 168 janvier 2013

By using relativistic and non-relativistic energy-density functionals, we have shown that, although a light nucleus can display molecule-like behavior (tending towards a crystalline state), heavier nuclei take on a more liquid-like behavior, see figure 5. An analogy can be drawn with the crust of neutron stars, which are composed of a majority of neutrons with a few protons. The deeper one goes inside the crust of a neutron star, the more one passes from a nucleonic crystalline medium to a nuclear liquid medium. Thanks to this analogy, a mechanism of transition from the liquid to the crystalline state in the nucleus was identified; when the interactions between neutrons and protons, through the depth of the confining nuclear potential, are not strong enough to fix them within the nucleus, the latter is in a quantum-liquid-type state where protons and neutrons are delocalized. Conversely, in a crystalline state, neutrons and protons would be fixed at regular intervals within the nucleus. A nuclear molecule is interpreted as being an intermediate state between a quantum liquid and a crystal.

The former is not homogeneous; neutrons and protons are distributed in clusters. The latter displays an homogenous quantum-liquid density. J.-P. Ebran, E. Khan, T. Niksic and D.

The development of the L.M.I.S. ion sources carried out in Orsay makes it possible to have projectiles containing from 100 to 2000 gold atoms. The first results obtained at low and high energy demonstrate that the projectile atoms penetrate the solid in a cohesive motion which involves an extreme temperature and pressure transient at the solid surface. The influence of the projectile mass and energy is being studied in order to investigate this new hydrodynamic regime of the solid-particle interaction. The systematic study of the ionic emission intensities as a function of the mass and energy of the projectiles showed that 100-200 qkeV is a sufficient energy for a new very efficient probe of the solid surface. In collaboration with the TAMU laboratory a new instrument PEGASE has been developed for the secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) associated to a new probe of the solid: massive clusters constituted of 100 to 1000 bismuth or gold atoms. With PEGASE we associate time of flight mass spectrometry with the detection of electron emission in order to locate the impact on the surface with an accuracy of 100 nm. The analysis will be carried out impact by impact to give information on the chemical composition of a localized nano-region of a few hundred nm3. We open a new domain of research concerning the analysis of nano-domains on the solid surface, nano structured surfaces by the impact of high energy nano-particles. This expertise and physics will be developed with the new Orsay Project ANDROMEDE described in the "project" document

The Andromède setting up is forecasted in the 209 building called the IGLOO which it will share with another Equipex winner, ThomX, developed at the LAL, and this will make up a platform of the Université Paris Sud and the CNRS dedicated to multidisciplinary research.

1 - Introduction

The Accelerator Division is in charge of research and development activities about the accelerator technologies and the operation of technological infrastructures of the Institute. The major part of these activities is related to the projects in which the Institute is engaged as a leader or as an important partner. The activity is mainly oriented following two axes: Stable and Radioactive Beams and High Power Superconducting linacs. In connection with these topics, forefront R&D work is promoted to maintain the level of expertise and also to anticipate solutions to relevant key technological issues related to the development of future accelerators. The R&D activity is mainly focused on the development of accelerators and the associated systems (ion sources, accelerating cavities, RF equipment, cryogenic systems…). The management of the activity is based on the organization of the division through projects and around two thematic poles: ALTO and SupraTech. These poles interact with three transverse groups: theory, electronic engineering and design office. The staff is composed of 49 engineers, 2 physicists and 45 technicians. 40 % of the staff works in priority for the operation and maintenance of the facilities.

2 - Facilities

The facilities at IPN are operated by the accelerator Division. These are: the Transnational Access facility Tandem-ALTO and the Technological platform SupraTech.

The Tandem ALTO facility is powered by two accelerators: a 15 MV- MP Tandem which is dedicated to stable beams (ions and clusters) and recently a 50 MeV linear electron accelerator used as a driver for the production of radioactive beams by photofission. The facility offers the opportunity to produce within the same place, cluster beams for interdisciplinary physics, stable and radioactive beams for astrophysics and nuclear physics. The delivered beams are dedicated to a large range of physics cases from nuclear structure to atomic physics, cluster physics, biology and nanotechnology (see IPN Facilities section).

After its commissioning in 2008, a large part of the activity on the new RIB facility ALTO has been accomplished to meet the safety standards requested by the nuclear safety authority. In parallel, strong efforts have been made to develop the experimental beam lines from the focal plan of the mass separator to deliver the beams to five different experimental set-ups. In the Tandem-ALTO facility, there is a specific laboratory for the development of the uranium carbide targets. It was upgraded recently and equipped by new devices for the synthesis and the characterization. In general, the facility combines off-line and on-line equipments allowing developments on targets and ion sources for radioactive nuclear beams. Taking into account such an advantage, important developments have been achieved for the European projects SPIRAL2, EURISOL and ACTILAB (cf. the following relevant paragraphs), and also in the framework of international collaborations.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 221 janvier 2013

Within the Tandem-ALTO facility, there is another laboratory specifically used for the development and manufacturing of self supported thin layers. They are particularly used as targets for the study of nuclei and molecules and as filters in high power laser shots. The facility provides metallic thin layers (natural elements and isotopes) and various polymers.

Since 2006, IPN has a technical infrastructure, SupraTech, dedicated to the research and development on superconducting cavities for the future high power and high energy particle accelerators. The platform takes part into all major European accelerator programs: CARE, SPIRAL2, EURISOL, MYRRHA, PACEN, ESS...It provides all necessary equipments to prepare, condition, assemble and test superconducting cavities for the superconducting technology based projects in which IPN is involved. The equipment of the platform include space for the chemical treatment of cavities, clean room assembly cavities, experimental areas for testing "hot" or "cold" and power RF sources. The development of the platform has been pushed further in order to increase the cavity test capability and give the possibility to especially test complete cryomodules at 352 and 704 MHz (see IPN Facilities section).

3 - SPIRAL2 Project

As a major partner, IPN is committed in the design study and the construction of the Spiral2 facility. The Accelerator Division has the responsibility of the following tasks:

Beam dynamics and commissioning

Cryomodules B of the high energy part and Beam Position Monitor (BPM)

Cryogenic plant

FEBIAD ion source and UCx production target.

3.1. Beam dynamics Studies were performed on the High Energy Beam Transport (HEBT) lines which deliver stable beams to the radioactive production cave and the experimental areas S3 (Super Separator Spectrometer) and NFS (Neutron For Science). The option to build a heavy ion source (q/A=1/6) with its associated injector foreseen in the second phase of the project was taken into account in the design of the HEBT lines. The beam optic design in the NFS converter room was completely achieved. All aspects and choice of the beam have been validated. The magnetic primary beam rejection dipole located behind the neutrons converter has been completely designed and is now under construction.

In the DESIR project (Désintégration, Excitation et Stockage des Ions Radioactifs), IPN has in charge the development of the beam transport sections connecting different experimental areas (S3, SPIRAL2 and the existing GANIL) to the experimental hall DESIR. In addition to the beam dynamic studies, IPN coordinates the whole integration process (mechanical, vacuum, diagnostics and control/command). This work is carried out in collaboration with GANIL and CENBG. In 2011, further calculations based on the first optical studies were developed. A qualitative version of the transfer line based on the ALTO design has been integrated between the production hall of SPIRAL2 and the injection into the DESIR hall. These first calculations have been used as inputs for the civil engineering study.

3.2. Cryomodules B of the high energy section of the Linac The superconducting linac is composed of 2 cryomodule families. In the low energy section - the first family - consists of 12 cryomodules housing a single cavity with β=0.07 (CMA). In the high energy section - the second family - is composed of 7 cryomodules housing 2 cavities with β=0.12 (CMB). The whole cavities are quarter wave resonators (QWR) operating at 88.050 MHz with an accelerating field of 6.5 MV/m.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 222 janvier 2013

The mass production of the 16 cavities (β=0.12) designed by IPN was completed in late 2009. In the period 2008-2010, they were all tested and qualified successfully in the vertical cryostat (Eacc>6.5 MV/m with less than 10W of cryogenic losses @4.2 K). In parallel several vertical tests were successfully accomplished to validate the performances of the pre-series dual-layer magnetic shield.

In the period 2009-2010, the whole equipment required for the implementation of the six cryomodules CMB were delivered in Orsay. Cryogenic and RF tests of the first assembled cryomodules were performed in 2010 and 2011. These first tests did not allow to fully validating the requested performances, the gradient of 3 out of 4 cavities was less than 6.5 MV/m because of strong field emission. Great efforts were made to identify, track, and correct all potential and identified causes of pollution. The new tests of a “hybrid” cryomodule performed in December 2011 and March 2012 allowed solving the met problems. The test of the next assembled module has resulted in full success and allowed the final validation of the requested performances. First cryomodule has been delivered to Ganil.

3.3. Beam Position Monitors The fine tuning of the LINAC requires the measurements of the position and phase of the beam. This is achieved by a set of 20 Beam Position Monitors (BPM). Each BPM is inserted in a vacuum pipe, itself integrated in the quadrupole magnet between two cryomodules. Due to their location, special care has been taken for the quality insurance of the realization of the BPM sensors. A test bench has also been designed and built at IPN to check the time response. Other measurements are carried out to provide data concerning the calibration and sensitivity of the BPM. The mechanical assembly of a BPM prototype into the quadrupole has also been tested. The realization of the electronics associated to the BPM sensors is underway. This task is done in collaboration with BARC and TIFR Institutes (India), the test of a prototype is planned by the end 2013.

3.4 Cryogenic plant The specifications of the refrigerator system that will be used to supply liquid helium to the Spiral2 linac were defined by IPN. This system was developed by ‘Air Liquide’ and completely tested at the company stand in June 2012. The main working modes were tested, especially the nominal mode with simulation of the thermal shield dissipation with a specifically fabricated module and the helium cryomodule dissipation with a heater placed in the dewar. All the components of this installation are now ready to be installed. The fluid connection between the refrigerator and the cryomodules is done through the main transfer line composed of a series of interconnected valves boxes. All the components were manufactured by a subcontractor.

3.5. UCx Production target In the framework of SPIRAL2, IPN has started an exhaustive R&D program on uranium carbide targets, focusing on the synthesis of porous material having high uranium concentration. This R&D program is carried out in collaboration with the group “Sciences Chimiques” of Rennes University. In particular, the feasibility of an experimental setup for characterizing the release of fission products from different samples has been demonstrated. Then this setup has been used to compare the release kinetics of different prototype materials at 1200 °C and 1550 °C. The results obtained so far bring to light that many parameters of influence have to be taken into account to well control the synthesis process. To further investigate rapidly some of these parameters, systematic measurements have been initiated with lanthanum as a substitute of uranium.

We also participated actively to the development of the Spiral2 oven. The design of the oven made of tantalum had been done in collaboration with Ganil. Thermo-mechanical modeling of the whole oven had been performed using IDEAS code. Three prototypes have been tested using a dedicated tests stand and the results have been compared to the simulation. This activity has been completely transferred to Ganil for pursuing the development using resistor made of graphite.

4 - High power proton Linac

4.1. MYRRHA project The conceptual design of the ADS‐type proton accelerator was initiated during previous EURATOM Framework Programs (PDS‐XADS and EUROTRANS projects). It is a linac based solution that brings excellent electric efficiency thanks to the use of superconductivity as well as a high reliability potential by the use of several redundancy schemes. The MAX team is pursuing the R&D on this ADS‐type accelerator, specifically focusing on the MYRRHA case: the main goal of the MAX project is to deliver an updated consolidated reference layout of the MYRRHA LINAC (600 MeV, 4 mA) with sufficient detail and an adequate level of confidence in order to initiate in 2015 its engineering design and subsequent construction phase. To reach this goal, advanced beam simulation activities are being undertaken and a detailed design of the major accelerating components is being carried out, building on several prototyping activities. A strong focus is also put on all the aspects that pertain to the reliability and availability of this accelerator, since the number of beam interruptions longer than three seconds has to be minimized. Such frequently‐repeated beam interruptions could indeed induce high thermal stress and fatigue on the reactor structures, the target or the fuel elements, with possible significant damages especially to the fuel cladding.

Beyond the activities linked to the MAX project management (IPN is the project coordinator), the main scientific results obtained by the IPN team during the first part of the project are the following:

Fine-tuning of the accelerator layout

Preliminary design of the MYRRHA Spoke cryomodule

Experiments using the 700 MHz beta 0.5 prototypic accelerating module installed in IPN and developed during the previous FP6 EUROTRANS programme.

4.2. ESS project The European Spallation Source (ESS) is the future European neutron source that will be constructed in Lund (Sweden) and produce its first neutrons in 2019. The source is based on a 5 MW proton accelerator delivering a 2.85 ms long pulse of 50 mA proton beam at 2.5 GeV to the target station for neutron production. The project is presently in an active design phase to determine the final layout and technical component structure in order to be able to launch the fabrication phase in 2013. IPN is actively participating to the ESS accelerator, especially the superconducting part, through two main tasks: the design of all components (spoke cavities, couplers, tuners and cryomodule) composing the intermediate energy section of the linac and the study of the cryomodule for the two families of elliptical cavities.

In ESS, the superconducting spoke section of the linac accelerates beam from the normal conducting section to the first family of the elliptical superconducting cavities. Acceleration will be performed by a single family of β0.5 bulk niobium double spoke cavities operated at 2 K, and 352.2 MHz. A total of 28 spoke cavities, grouped by 2 in 14 cryomodules, are laid along the 58.6 m of the spoke linac length. The chosen operating accelerating field is 8 MV/m and the required peak RF power to supply the cavity is about 250 kW for the 50 mA beam intensity. The design work has started in April 2011 and several important achievements have been performed over the first 18 months. The spoke cavity design has been achieved, with special attention paid to the peak field optimization and the cavity mechanical properties. In parallel, the design of the cold tuning system and the power coupler for the spoke cavities is being conducted. Both are inspired from previous developments in the framework of the Eurisol project, but integrate the specific requirements of the ESS accelerator (mainly high peak power and pulsed operation). All cryomodules of the whole ESS accelerator – for spoke, medium and high β elliptical cavities - will be conceived and designed by IPN. For the different linac sections, several cryostat configurations and solutions are being studied in order to optimize cryogenic performances, physical lengths, assembly easiness, alignment accuracy, mechanical stability and costs.

4.3. SPL Project In the frame of the extra contribution of France to CERN, IPN was involved in the Superconducting Proton Linac cryomodule studies. It is an R&D effort aiming at developing key technologies for the construction at CERN, of a multi-megawatt proton linac, based on state-of-the-art SRF technologies. It would serve as a driver for new physics facilities such as neutrino and radioactive ion beam facilities. One of the main short term objectives is the testing, by 2014, of a string of four 704 MHz β=1 elliptical cavities, made of bulk niobium and operating at 2 K in a machine-type cryomodule to provide an accelerating field of 25 MV/m. Conducted by CERN and in partnership with CEA/Saclay, IPN is in charge of the design and construction of the 2K cryomodule and the assembly (cryostating) tooling. The originality of the design comes from the concept of supporting each cavity by its RF coupler, for thermal and mechanical benefits. Space limitations imposed on the cryomodule dimensions induce to equip the vacuum vessel with a longitudinal top aperture in order to insert the string of cavities from above vertically into the cryostat. It allows getting a better diagnostic of the string alignment prior to the cryostat closure and simplifies the assembly tooling. After a conceptual design review completed at CERN at the end of 2011, the detailed study is now in progress.

As part of improving the brightness of the LHC, the IPN has supported the design studies of new cryostats constituting the four sets of triplets located either side of the ATLAS and CMS experiments.

5 - RF developments

5.1. RF power source for the FAIR project According to a collaboration agreement between the FAIR project and CNRS, IPN provided the elements foreseen for the construction at GSI of the power test stand of accelerating cavities of the 70 MeV proton Linac.

Tests are required during the production and delivery process of the series comprising additional six cavities. Each single cavity must be tested at high power before being transferred to GSI and installed in the linac. Finally, after the commissioning, a fully operating high power RF-source is required at GSI for repairing failing RF devices which need maintenance during the routine operation of FAIR. The RF- frequency is 325.224 MHz and the peak power is up to 2.5 MW pulsed at 4 Hz providing 200 μs long pulses. A 2.5 MW klystron is available on-site and a power converter should be available by the end of 2012. The IPN was in charge of the supplying of all RF equipments such as the waveguides, the circulator, the measurement couplers and the digital LLRF. All these components were delivered to GSI.

5.2. RF power source SPARE The LINAC projects which are under construction or going to be built in the coming years (FAIR, LINAC4, ESS) have some common needs in terms of high RF power sources. Up to 2010, there was no technology available in Europe for such RF power sources. In addition, such RF power stations are required for testing and validating several accelerator key components at full power. In this context, IPN is setting up an RF power test station able to deliver a peak RF power of 2.8 MW (1.5 ms, 50 Hz or 3 ms, 14 Hz) at the required frequencies of these accelerators (352 MHz and 704MH). The station will be integrated into the technical infrastructure SupraTech.

A collaboration agreement between Thales Electron Devices Company and the CNRS has been signed to study, implement and test a klystron. IPN was in charge of the study and the simulation, with the FLUKA code, of the cross bar (transition waveguide - coaxial output), and also of the simulation of the radiation levels emitted by the klystron. Once realized, the klystron was delivered to IPN. In the meantime, IPN has studied all power supplies required for the klystron operation. The specifications of all auxiliary power supplies were investigated. All power supplies were received and tested on resistive loads.

5.3. Digital Low Level RF Within the framework of the European research programs EUROTRANS and EURISOL on High Intensity Proton Accelerators, and particularly for the R&D on superconducting Spoke cavities, a Digital Low Level Radio Frequency system has been developed at IPN in collaboration with LPNHE. This system is used for the control of the phase and the amplitude of the accelerating field in an SRF cavity. Several tests at ambient temperature and 4.2 Kelvin have been performed at low power (up to 300W) allowing to develop the test bench and the acquisition and supervision system. The work focuses on the test results of the second version of the digital board with its acquisition and supervision system. Tests of the complete system have been performed at high power (up to 10kW) in cryomodule conditions for the SPIRAL2 cavities (@ 88MHz).

6 - Generic R&D and European Networks

6.1. EURISOL In the framework of the European project EURISOL (European Isotope Separation-On-Line facility), a prototype multi-spoke superconducting cavity (352 MHz, β = 0.3) was developed and optimized by IPN. The mechanical design must first take into account the mechanical forces to which the structure is subjected to determine an optimum wall thickness that meets both criteria strength of materials and the criteria of minimizing the cost of raw material (niobium). The tradeoff between robustness and cost saving of superconducting metal leads to a solution which is to on focus a cavity having a minimum thickness but supported by additional reinforcements. In addition, the design of a superconducting cavity must consider a number of interdisciplinary problems that require coupled electromagnetic-mechanical calculations. The development of the final design took into account both calculations and conditions of industrial work.

IPN has been also involved in the task4 of the project: the Multi-MegaWatt irradiation station. In this station, a 1-GeV proton beam hits a 4-MW mercury converter target surrounded by 6 fission targets. Each fission target is connected to a dedicated ion source so that six distinct radioactive isotope beams can be extracted simultaneously from the target-ion-source system. The converter and fission targets have been both designed to be modular parts so that each of them can be rapidly replaced by means of remote handling. The group working on task 4 was in charge of the fission target and all the associated devices to produce the requested nuclear beams from fission products. In particular, the Accelerator Division took in charge the study of the ion sources to be integrated in this irradiation station. In this study, a prototype of plasma ion source has been designed: the IRENA ion source (Ionization by Radial Electron Neat Adaptation). The concept of this type of FEBIAD source has been experimentally demonstrated and results obtained so far under unfavorable operating conditions show the possibility to work out a very competitive prototype.

As a result of four years of study and developments, the final report of the EURISOL Design Study has been achieved. Following the numerous studies and tests, various publications have been released.

6.2. EUCARD Within the FP7-EuCARD program, IPN will develop an optimized beta=0.65, 704 MHz, 5-cell elliptical cavity equipped with a Titanium helium tank for the SPL (Superconducting Proton Linac) accelerator. The linac is based on two families of SC cavities (beta=0.65 and beta=1.0) operating at 704.4 MHz with accelerating gradients of 19 MV/m and 25 MV/m respectively.

IPN has performed all RF and mechanical calculations and has worked in close collaboration with CEA/Saclay for the design of the RF coupler port and Cold Tuning System interfaces.

Starting in November 2011, the cavity fabrication is in progress. Delivery is planned for February 2013 and will be followed by a vertical test at 2 K.

6.3. ECOMI SRF resonators made of high purity bulk niobium are increasingly used in linear particle accelerators. In order to push further on accelerating gradients, a major R&D effort is carried out to increase the performances of superconducting materials. New materials and new processes must be investigated to replace bulk niobium for which theoretical limits are almost reached (53 MV/m @ Bc=200 mT for a single cell cavity ILC-shape). For this purpose, a TE011 test cavity resonating at 3.87 GHz and made of bulk niobium has been developed with a dedicated instrumentation. It is devoted to the tests of superconducting sample for RF applications. The system was successfully commissioned in 2010 with bulk niobium samples. An additional development has been achieved for the incident RF coupling system to tune the RF power to the coupling factor of the cavity. A movable coupler has been built and successfully used for surface resistance measurements of niobium samples. First results show that the expected sensitivity of the thermometric method is achieved. In 2012, a first sample with a multi-layer architecture has been tested in collaboration with CEA/Saclay (IRFU and INAC). Promising preliminary results have been obtained.

6.4. ACTILAB/ENSAR In ISOL facilities, the performance of UC targets mainly impacts the production of neutron-rich-nuclei beams. In order to develop efficient UC targets, a European program has been submitted in the framework of FP7-ENSAR. This R&D program involves CERN, IPN, INFN-LNL (Italy), PSI (Switzerland) and GANIL (France). The project was officially agreed in March 2010 and the kick-off meeting was organized at IPN in January 2011. The program of the project has been broken down into four tasks: “Synthesis of new actinide targets”, “Characterization of actinide targets”, “Properties of actinide targets after irradiation” and “On-line tests of actinide targets”. Having already developed various prototypes of UC materials, IPN is in charge of coordinating the first task. So far, different new targets have been developed at IPN. The laboratory also took part in two on-line experiments, one with a dense UC target and one with UC diluted in a nano- structured graphite matrix. The next on-line experiment with the currently most promising target material has been scheduled at ALTO for January 2014.

Furthermore, a specific R&D program has been initiated to produce the best beams of rare earth nuclei using a fluorination technique. Physicochemical properties of the involved elements have been studied to synthesize suitable pellets containing rare earth. Two experimental campaigns have already been achieved successfully at the off-line isotope separator. Further tests and analysis are in progress. Considering the power of such a technique to produce challenging ISOL beams, the ActILab community has submitted a new JRA proposal to develop molecule beams: BeamLab.

6.5. TIARA The main objective of the TIARA project (Test Infrastructure and Accelerator Research Area) project is to obtain at an organizational structure providing coordination for R&D efforts and associated infrastructures in the field of particle accelerators in Europe. The project is today in a preparatory phase (PP), supported by the European Commission under its Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).

IPN participates in all the organizational work packages. It also coordinates the WP9, a technical WP dedicated to the study of two specific test infrastructures relevant to EURISOL and other high power accelerators: a low beta superconducting (SC) versatile horizontal test cryostat (IPN main activity) and a test infrastructure for high power targets (CERN is the main contributor).

Since the project started in January 2011, the main activity of WP9 was dedicated to study the European user’s needs and requirements for testing low beta SC cavities in order to define specifications for the cryostat. Based on this analysis, a conceptual design of the cryostat is now under progress.

6.6. THERMOACOUSTIC Thermoacoustic devices use an intense sound to produce cooling or, in a reverse way, a heat source to produce a sound, working efficiently as motors, heat pumps, refrigerators or trithermal machines.

At IPN, thermoacoustic activities are foreseen as an interesting way of cooling at cryogenic temperature without using cryofluids. Supported by the EU within the FP7, the THATEA project (Jan 2009 - Dec 2011) aimed at developing and coupling thermoacoustic coolers with thermoacoustic wave generators (motors), achieving thermodynamic efficiencies of more than 40% of the Carnot’s efficiency. IPN and its partners have designed, constructed and tested a refrigerator producing 600W of cooling power at a temperature of -25°C with a maximum efficiency of 33%. The laboratory has also designed a thermoacoustic wave generator providing an intense sound to study non linear acoustic flows and carried out a technological survey on the design and construction of thermoacoustic compact heat exchangers.

IPN has also led a second project TACSOL which was supported by the National Agency for Research (ANR) in the framework of its PRECODD-2008 program (PRogramme ECOtechnologies et Développement Durable). The goal is to build up a solar thermoacoustic cooler. Solar radiation is collected by a parabolic dish and focused onto a receiver placed in a cavity. This receiver requires an appropriate thermal design to collect at 700 °C the varying incident solar energy efficiently and to transmit heat to the working fluid of a tri-thermal thermoacoustic machine: helium gas being at a pressure of 42 bars. The thermoacoustic device then produces 1 kW to cool a cold (-25 °C) energetic storage (latent and sensitive processes).

It will carry out a first advanced design of a 50-100 MWth experimental facility to demonstrate the technical feasibility of transmutation in an Accelerator Driven System (XT-ADS). It will also produce a generic conceptual design (several 100 MWth) of a modular European Facility for Industrial Transmutation (EFIT). Both designs will bear the same fundamental system characteristics in order to allow scalability between XT-ADS and EFIT.

The World Energy Council’s WEC Statement 2000 points out that although global reliance on fossil fuels and large hydro will remain strong through 2020, these will not be able to meet the world’s long-term electricity demand in a sustainable manner. As a consequence, WEC concludes that the role of nuclear power must be stabilised with the aim of possible future extensions. A closed fuel cycle is a prerequisite for making nuclear energy a sustainable one. This can be reached by deploying advanced partitioning and efficient transmutation systems to reduce the burden on the geological storage. This objective is of relevance both for countries committed to nuclear energy in the future and for countries not committed to a further deployment of nuclear energy. The Objectives of this Coordination Action (CA) is to deliver a European vision for the deployment of the partitioning and transmutation technology up to the scale level of pilot plants for all its components.

Détector department (R&D detectors)

The R&D Detection Department comprises capabilities in detectors, mechanics and electronics. We put the focus on the mechanics (feasibility studies, structural analyses, manufacturing drawings, assembly, tests) with integration of the electronic circuits. We also undertake detector studies (simulation and tests) along with the associated analog electronics: high voltage bias, preamplifiers, signal processing. The Department is composed of a collective of five engineers of different fields (detection physics, mechanics and electronics), an engineering and design department in mechanics, an engineering and design department in electronics, a mechanical and detectors assembly workshop. The workshop is equipped with 2 numerical centers, several conventional machines and a welding area, three clean rooms, two three-dimensional control systems, one large and one small for precise measurement, and a winding machine devoted to the wire chamber construction. Three other rooms are devoted to the detector tests. They comprise a vacuum chamber, a climate test cabinet for temperature and humidity management, three laser systems for gas and photodetectors tests. The electronics comprise digital oscilloscopes and signal digitizers, generators and conventional NIM, CAMAC and VME modules. Depending of the type of tests, we use different data acquisition systems: CAMAC, VME, digitizing oscilloscopes driven by LabView or C/C++ applications. We started to develop skills in signal acquisition and processing with the aim to replace some old spectroscopy chains by digitizers and associated software processing.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 251 janvier 2013 Department of Electronics (SEP)

The Electronics Group is composed of about 20 persons, including 10 electronics engineers. Its mission is the design and the development of electronic equipments associated with nuclear physics detectors. The activities are centered on front-end electronics (preamplifying stages and shaping) and signal conditioning. The tasks range for spectroscopy, calorimetry and tracking, using charge, current or time measurements for different kinds of detectors (gas, semiconductors, phtotodetectors). The group designs and manufactures complex digital interfaces between the detector and the data acquisition systems. The department is divided in two sub-groups: the first is specialized in analog electronics and micro-electronics, and the second in digital electronics, working in close relationship with the data acquisition group of the institute. From a manufacturing point of view, the group is in charge of the delivery of parts of systems or full systems. This is achieved either using the internal workshop or subcontracting the manufacturing tasks to industrial companies. Due to the increase of the number of channels and their complexity, instrumentation often requires the use of custom designed integrated circuits. A team of two engineers with the appropriate design tools exists for this purpose and is used to collaborate with the OMEGA microelectronics group of Orsay.

The department has two permanent entities working for all the different projects: Purchasing and Workshop. The rest of the staff, divided in two sub-groups, is organized in project teams, usually led by an engineer in close relationship with a physicist. This organization can change over time, according to the projects requirements. The printed-board design is always included and part of the projects. Four persons are trained to Cadence CAD tools and EMC concerns, while one of them is specialized in up-to-date printed board technology and in Cadence constraint manager software, which is an essential key to success, according to increasing speed and complexity of new designs. Five Cadence Allegro Licences are available thanks to IN2P3 Cadence agreement. This group also pays attention to the internal components data base and footprints, with a permanent worry of making manufacturing and repairing easy and safe. A workshop of three persons is in charge of hardware manufacturing and maintenance. Most of the prototypes without Ball Grid Array packages (BGA) components are assembled at the workshop. Two persons are especially skilled in Surface Mount Device assembling (Fig. 1) and repair and one in dedicated cables production and mechanical integration. This team is led by a fourth person who also deals with the management of external fabrication when quantities are large or when a special technology is required. In the later case, she selects the manufacturer, places the order and provides a total follow up.

Computing department (S2I)

It is divided within two groups the data acquisition group and the exploitation group. The exploitation group provides computing support for the scientific program, as well as general computing services and support to the laboratory, including desktop computing, administration computing (Financial Services, Human Resources), GRID computing and network infrastructure. The group also provides Telecommunications support (fix and mobile phones, etc.), support of CAD computing activities, and is responsible for all cyber security functions. It manages all the servers which make up the Window, Linux and Mac environments and the local area network. The mission of the development group of the computing department is to support groups of the laboratory. For these purposes, it develops real-time software system including a data acquisition system (NARVAL) now widely used in the laboratory (LAG PARRNe, TANDEM) and adopted by the European AGATA Collaboration, and by GANIL. It also develops embedded software for DSP farm "front end" of the ALICE dimuon detector.

The ICD activities are presented according to the department different themes of work, precisely the different types of detectors, photodetectors, semi-conductor detectors, gaseous detectors and data acquisition.

PHOTODETECTORS

CLAS12 experiment

IPNO is responsible for the CLAS12 Central Neutron Detector (CND). Detector department designed a solution for this CND. This detector goal is the detection and localization of neutrons in a high magnetic field (5T) by means of time-of-flight measurement with a resolution better than 120 ps Sigma in 80-cm long plastic scintillators. Because of the tight space, we validated a cost-effective solution for implementing the readout at only one side of a pair of scintillator bars. Before reaching this solution, we carried out a long R&D on various photodetectors, including avalanche photodiodes and micro-channel plates. From the performance in the magnetic field and the particle flux, we showed that the best solution was to use photomultiplier tubes taken away from the magnetic field thanks to light guide. We designed a light mechanical structure for the scintillators. We interacted with the rest of the collaboration to design a mechanical structure for the light guide and also a scenario for the assembly of the detector in this tight geometry. The detector is under construction at IPNO and the delivery to the collaboration is foreseen in 2014, the commissioning is foreseen at the end of 2015. [A]

The high gain and low noise current sensitive preamplifiers used for the IC calorimeter of the previous CLAS (6 GeV) detector have given good physical results. This is why the group in charge of the new Forward Tagger Calorimeter devoted to the future CLAS12 detector has requested the SEP to develop a slightly modified version of this preamplifier. This new FT calorimeter consists of 340 PbWO4 crystals. One APD is glued on each crystal. This new FT CLAS12 preamplifier will be able to detect an input charge from 5fC up to 2.5pC, which corresponds to detect electrons and gammas in the range of 10 MeV up to 5 GeV in the crystal. Tests were performed in 2011 in Italy (INFN, Genova) with prototypes. The gain is 1.2V/pC for a 40ns pulse input or about 50000 V/A. The SEP was in charge of the design, tests and production of a set of 400 preamplifiers, which were delivered to the collaboration at end of 2012. The CLAS12 FT calorimeter is now equipped with this IPNO front-end electronics.

From the DVCS experiment built in 2004, we redesigned the whole mechanics and integration for the HPS project in order to stack the 440 crystals in a horizontal way. Large crystals supports frames, cooling insulated black box stabilized at 0.1°C, and new electronics boards were designed in IPN Orsay. We also studied a particular flat vacuum chamber with thin walls in order to slide it in between the 2 halves of the calorimeter. The calorimeter was successfully installed at Jlab in april 2012. The first tests, in may 2012 were conclusive concerning the calorimeter performances. The American DOE gave his green light for the project funding. During this period an IPNO physicist got some funding from French ANR (project HPS@jlab). According to the first test results some modifications both in mechanics and in electronics are being implemented, and further tests are foreseen mid 2014.

PANDA Within the framework of the future developments at GSI Darmstadt (FAIR project), we started in summer 2004 a work on the PANDA detector concerning the barrel of the electromagnetic calorimeter. This calorimeter will make use of 11,360 lead tungstate crystals. The RDD Department has in charge the mechanical and cooling studies (-25°C with a stabilization of 0.1C° which is quite challenging) and the electronics integration. A prototype made of 60 PbWO4 tapered crystals cooled at -25 C was built and tested in this purpose. After cosmic ray tests at IPN, the device was installed on the tagged photon beam facility at MAMI (Mainz/Germany) to measure energy and time resolutions. Figure below shows the line shapes of the deposited energy corresponding to a photon energy of 1.057 GeV in the first beam option.

IPNO ICD was co-editor of the calorimeter TDR and is responsible of the calorimeter mechanical design and integration within the PANDA technical board. [1] [2]

PARIS-GANAS For the R&D of the gamma ray calorimeter PARIS, we designed the integration of a cluster of 3×3 scintillators coupled to photomultiplier tubes (PMT) and their associated HV dividers. We studied the performances of the LaBr3: Ce scintillator when optically coupled to NaI:Tl and CsI:Na in a Phoswich detector. We obtained (see figure below black dots) with a 2-in LaBr3:Ce / NaI:Tl Phoswich coupled to the Hamamatsu R7723-100 PMT an energy resolution of 4.6 % at 662 keV [a].

PMm2 project: Large array of photomultipliers The large hemispherical photomultiplier (PMT) is one of the crucial components in astroparticle physics and neutrino experiments. Because of a strong experience in PMT developments and associated electronics, IPNO participated at the end of 2006 to a R&D project called PMm2 which has been granted by the French agency ANR. It was a collaboration with LAPP, APC and LAL to design the readout electronics of large PMTs arrays in pure water. PMm2 thus proposed to segment the total detection surface in 2*2 m2 arrays of 4*4 PMTs connected to an innovative autonomous and triggerless electronics system. The digitized data were sent from an underwater front-end board to a surface board, connected itself to an online data acquisition PC via an Ethernet network. PMTs signals were processed by OMEGA PARISROC2 ASICs. SEP was in charge of the mother board design and the communication protocols with the long distance (100m) DAQ system. A demonstrator was completed in 2010. It was made by the detector department with a full electronics set and of 16 8-inch PMTs in a light-tight tank. Pressure tests showed the ability of the PMm2 elements to operate under 65m of water. The PMm2 demonstrator is able to measure the number of impinging photoelectrons on 16 large PMTs with their arrival time, with a loss rate smaller than 4%, including the effects of the noise we measured. We have been able to perform the single electron peak measurement and compensate the PMT gain dispersion due to the common high voltage. Those first results confirmed that the architecture proposed by the PMm2 R&D project satisfies many upcoming projects of megaton scale detectors for proton decay search and neutrino physics. The demonstrator was delivered to the LAGUNA collaboration. [A] [b] [c] [d] [e]

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 254 janvier 2013 R&D on calorimeter for EXL project The EXL experiment calorimeter (NUSTAR GSI) is dedicated to the measurements of both charged particles and gamma rays. A prototype, made of 18 CsI(Tl) equipped with dual XP14D5 photomultipliers, has been built and tested with gamma energies up to 3.2 MeV. Despite the light cross-talk between crystals of the same duo, which can be corrected by the off-line analysis, the resolution on the total energy is less than 5.5% FWHM at 1 MeV and follows the EXL specifications. However, additional experimental data with energy gammas higher than 5 MeV were needed to fully characterize the detector. [A]

SEMICONDUCTOR DETECTORS

FAZIA The multidetector FAZIA is aimed to detect and identify products issued from heavy-ion reactions. The instrument will eventually cover the full angular space (4 π) with 10000 tiles, each composed of 3 individual detectors (Si + Si + CsI). The objective is to obtain unit identification for charge up to Z=70 and mass up to A=50. This goal will be reached using novel pulse shape analysis techniques using high speed flash ADCs. The high channel count involved in this instrument has led to a new concept where the whole instrumentation will be integrated in the vicinity of the detector and embedded inside the vacuum chamber. IPN Orsay is fully responsible of the front end electronics, which includes:

3 preamplifiers (1 per Si detector), the ADC and the digital data processing.

250 Ms/s 14 bits ADC. This channel offers the most important feature of the FAZIA detector. The signal acquired here represents an accurate image of the charge collection process within the detector and allows for the charge and mass identification of the particles leaving all their energy in the first stage of the telescope.

250 Ms/s 14 bits ADC with 250 MeV full scale: this channel is dedicated to measure low mass particles like protons, leaving few energy in the first member of the telescope. It will also provide a high accuracy mean for timing determination

2 100 Mbit/s 14 bits ADC: one is the main channel where energy is acquired with a high dynamic range. This channel also issues the trigger request signal. The other one reads the signal issued from the photodiode attached to the CsI scintillator. A special online data processing for particle identification is performed, based on the analysis of the slow / fast components of the light emission of the CsI crystal.

3 Virtex generation FPGA. Two of them manage both telescopes:

Read out of the 6 high speed analog-to-digital converters and waveform recording

High resolution energy calculation through digital filtering

Local trigger generation

Data packing and transmission to the acquisition system

Interface to various services (power supply, generators)

The third FPGA manages the clock distribution and the communication with the higher level.

The IPNO electronics prototypes were used during many tests beams which greatly enlarge the isotopic identification by pulse shape analysis techniques up to Z=56.

During 2008/2012 period IPNO ICD was technical coordinator of the FAZIA project. [A] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 255 janvier 2013 GASPARD One of the challenges of SPIRAL2 is to equip experiments with double-sided silicon strip detectors. Therefore, we are leader in an emblematic project on this issue, GASPARD. We set up test benches to measure the signal shape distribution and alterations. Since one of its main technical difficulties is the integration of the readout of an expected number of 15,000 channels in a small volume, we propose designs of the detectors in order to put them inside a thin aluminum vacuum chamber fitting into the AGATA experiment and in conjunction with the CHYMENE solid hydrogen target. We also started an R&D based on simulation and measurement to study the identification of light particles (Z = 1 to 3) at energies as low as 1 MeV by the analysis of the signals on several strips with those thick detectors (between 300 and 500-µm thick). Now, we focus on GASPARD feasibility studies: realistic electronics design, cooling, mechanical integration. In order to determine the front-end electronics, we analyzed the signals recorded during a beam-test at ALTO (34-MeV 7Li beam impinging on a 12C target) with a double-sided, 485-µm pitch strip, 500-µm thick neutron transmutation doped (nTD) silicon detector equipped with analog electronics designed at IPN Orsay. We were the first to succeed in separating proton, deuteron, triton at low energies between 2 and 10 MeV with a good accuracy, besides with a digital filter suited for an implementation in a FPGA [f]

ORGAM/ORGAM2 The ORGAM project (the ORsay GAMma array) is based on the use of part of the 45 EUROGAM tapered coaxial germanium detectors. The EUROGAM resources management is shared between the France-UK Loan Pool and the European Gamma Pool collaborations. The ORGAM project started when a significant number (23) of the detectors were released in year 2008 from the JUROGAM1 array installed at Jyvaskyla. The project was phased in two steps: Phase 1 (2009-2011) use of up to 30 Compton suppressed Ge detectors on line 420 of the ALTO accelerator and phase 2 (2011-2013) use of 15 detectors on line 210 of the Tandem to work in coincidence with the Split-Pole spectrometer. The phase1 set-up was aligned in April 2009 and runs at ALTO. The purpose of phase 2 was to design of the compact ORGAM geometry. It has been decided to favor efficiency instead of granularity which is not critical for the study of exotic nuclei. In that way, fewer detectors (15) can be used and placed closer to the target. The R&D for the new anti- Compton shields has been under-taken in parallel by the Instrumentation Division. Simulations using the GEANT4 software were performed to check the Compton rejection rate for several geometries of the set composed by a Germanium detector and BGO crystals.

(a) View of 100 superimposed interactions of 2 MeV gammas inside a set-up made of a Germanium (red) and a 150 mm length BGO (gray) with pentagonal forward and backward faces. (b) Energy measured in Germanium, without (black histogram) and with (red histogram) Compton rejection using the BGO crystal. The new mechanical design uses carbon fiber molded envelop, home produced in a precise aluminum mould. The small wall thickness of 400 μm reduces the dead zone between crystals (~2 mm). This new concept allows the Germanium detectors removal without dismounting the anti-Compton vessels. ORGAM2 was successfully tested and is ready to be installed at ALTO. [A]

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 256 janvier 2013 Germanium pool IPNO has been acting as Home Base for the French-UK Germanium Loan Pool (former EUROGAM collaboration) since July 2007. Replacing IPHC in that task, it has taken in charge more than 20 Ge detectors and assumed maintenance, monitoring and repair operations. Beside, IPN hosts the 4 EXOGAM first clover prototypes which form the OSCAR array. Then, in the framework of the ORGAM project, an equivalent quantity of Ge detectors have been borrowed from the European Gamma Pool (former EUROBALL collaboration) for a 2 years loan. In addition, the Ge Laboratory has been entrusted with other Ge detectors from IPNO and other origins for tests, monitoring of the characteristics and repairs. In that way, the expertise of the Ge Laboratory has strongly increased and now encompasses a large variety of Ge detectors: LEPS, large volume coaxial tapered and non tapered, small volumes, clovers etc.. [A]

GAZEOUS DETECTORS

MICROMEGAS R&D In the field of gaseous detectors, the RDD Department has started a R&D program focused on the use of MICROMEGAS (MICRO Mesh Gaseous Structure) as a possible detector for the end plate of a TPC (Time Projection Chamber). The main contribution is the development of a test bench based on nitrogen laser where a variable number of electrons (from less than 100 to more than 104) in a well defined place (less than 100-μm diameter spot) can be produced. We updated the test bench we developed to characterize the design of Micromegas detectors. With this test bench, we control the number of electrons we inject to the multiplicative structure of the detector. We can then characterize the single electron response and the Fano factor of a Micromegas architecture with a given gas. The improvement we achieved allows working at gas pressure ranging from 100 mbar to 1.5 bar. [12] [13] [14] [15]

MAYA/ACTAR One of the future SPIRAL2 detectors is a time projection chamber, ACTAR. This detector provides “active targets” for radioactive beam experiments: the chamber gas serves as a reaction target and a tracking medium of reaction products simultaneously. It enables efficient measurements of low-energy ions, thus involving a large stopping power, at the energy regime of SPIRAL2. A challenging specification of ACTAR is its highly-segmented readout plane equipped with 15,000 electrodes, which ensures a good spatial resolution, read out by electronics (CEA) placed outside. To feed through the large number of electronic channels in a limited space, detector department proposed a new concept of air-vacuum interface using high-density connectors. Because of the very small pad size, the solution for the connectors validation represents a significant progress in the integration pad plane technology. The PAD printed circuit board, designed by SEP, ensures vacuum-tightness. The top layer is the PAD plane itself (inside the vacuum chamber) and the bottom layer provides connections, to external readout electronics. Mini-coaxial cables are used because of their low capacitance (85 pF / m) in order to minimize the noise.

The present design of ACTAR TPC is based on a pad size of 2×2 mm. The active target configuration has a rectangular shape with a detection plane composed of 64×32 pads, i.e. 2048 channels. The PAD plane is a thick (4,5 mm) multilayer printed circuit board glued on the bottom grid. The PCB uses a special technology with micro-vias and buried vias in order to link the connecting vias between subsequent layers. Internal layers are only dedicated to electrical tracks. The vias and paths are very dense, hence the design is quite complex and must fit in a basic cell of 16×6 pads in order to ease the extrapolation to larger planes. Based on the proposed concept, we have recently developed a demonstrator of 2,500 pads (Detectors, Electronics department and GANIL), which will help us to define the final design of ACTAR.

SOFIA For an experiment based at GSI in collaboration the CEA Bruyères-le-Châtel, SOFIA, we designed and built 2 wire chambers. They are equipped respectively with 100 and 500 wires for the 200x200-mm² and 600x900-mm² chambers. A specific ungraved tooling machine is developed to realize all the tracks on thin aluminum mylar foil. This gaseous detector used well-known concepts we implemented for the HADES and ALICE detectors, and are among the major skills in the R&D detector department. Another 100x100 mm² chamber is being manufactured and we foresee to increase the data rate by modifying the electronics. The first beam tests are very productive.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 257 janvier 2013 DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM DESIGN

NARVAL NARVAL is a framework designed at IPNO to develop Data Acquisition Systems. It provides a highly distribution of the data and the CPU power needed to process it across a network. Even if the core developers work at IPNO, a NARVAL group organizes the new developments, some teaching and the distribution for the laboratories needing such a tool. The NARVAL group is based on members of three laboratories: IPN Orsay, GANIL and CSNSM. NARVAL is now used by many experiences occurring at the ALTO facility, by the GANIL DAQ group as a data flow manager, and by the AGATA detector. The Orsay group (CSNSM and IPNO) is in charge of the development of the DAQ acquisition system in the AGATA collaboration. The IPNO electronics department has developed in VHDL code the substantial part of the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Away) for an AGATA complex DAQ board called Carrier board: the trigger system management code, a part of the DPRAM (Dual Port Random Access Memory) management code and the data acquisition code of the main FPGA. It was also responsible for the manufacturing and the tests of 33 boards for the demonstrator phase. The demonstrator phase test took place at Legnaro National Laboratories (Italy), then the AGATA detector (Crystals, Electronics, 100 Tbytes Storage, ...) moved to GSI (Germany). The crystal number in this new phase should reach 25. IPN Orsay actual part is to handle the Data Flow going out of the numerical electronic of AGATA. NARVAL, as in LNL, is also used for this phase but due to obsolescence of some hardware, a new DAQ box was designed using about 30 high-end servers. Since some local conditions have changed, we have designed a new event building scheme. This new scheme use now a distributed event building divided in three stages: early data flow analysis, pattern building and sub events collecting. [16] [17] [18] [19]

Geant4 & Virtual Monte Carlo & ALICE DIMUON ARM We are involved in the development of basic software used in high energy and nuclear physics. We are an active member of the Geant4 Collaboration, where we participate to the development in the Geometry and Persistence Working Groups (WG) and IPNO ICD coordinates the N&E Examples Working Group. We also participate to the Virtual Monte Carlo (VMC) project provided with ROOT, which is used as a basis for simulation software in ALICE, FAIR and other large experiments. [29][i]….[s].

IPNO is strongly involved in ALICE Dimuon spectrometer collaboration. We are responsible of Station 1. Since 2005 IPNO ICD has been responsible both for the tracking electronics and for the Dimuon DAQ software. In parallel one of our colleague is a member of the ALICE Computing Board. IPNO computing department is also involved in the ALICE Offline project, which is in charge of developing the framework of general software for simulation, reconstruction and analysis for the ALICE experiment (AliRoot). 2008/2012 was an important period of commissioning and data taking, with a lot of results in improving the Dimuon software and in reducing the dead time.

PLATEFORMS IPN- (FACILITIES)

Tandem ALTO Facility - FTE 20 (ALTO : Accélérateur Linéaire et Tandem d’Orsay)

IPN has always been a major player in building accelerators for nuclear physics. Already at the time when the first synchrocyclotron has been built at CERN, IPN-Orsay has been operating and exploiting its first accelerator (a synchrotron that has been built by Frederic Joliot and around which the institute was founded). During the 80’s the phasing out of two of the IPN accelerators, the heavy-ion cyclotron and the proton synchrocyclotron was done timely with the starting of GANIL in which the institute was a key player in both building and exploiting it. Later on and after building and delivering the superconducting cyclotron AGOR to KVI, the institute committed strongly in the construction of the LHC realizing 414 short straight sections, and more than 7000 calibrating thermometers. In parallel IPN started a steady R&D program on ISOL production techniques which is a long standing tradition of the institute. It is for instance worth reminding that ISOL techniques were extensively developed at the synchrocyclotron of Orsay during the 60’s and 70’s and exported to ISOLDE at CERN. This recent reborn of the ISOL R&D activity at IPN has inspired the ALTO project.

At the beginning of the project, the ALTO acronym stood for ‘Linear Accelerator next to the Orsay Tandem’ referring to the newly built ISOL facility within the same building as the Orsay Tandem. Since the beginning of ENSAR, ALTO has been referring more to the whole TNA (Tran National Access) facility and the acronym has been standing for ‘Linear Accelerator and Tandem at Orsay’. The ALTO facility is powered by two major accelerators: a 15MV MP Tandem to provide stable beams and a 50 MeV linear electron accelerator dedicated to the production of radioactive beams. The facility offers the opportunity to produce, within the same place, cluster beams for interdisciplinary physics and stable and radioactive beams for astrophysics and nuclear physics. The delivered beams are dedicated to a large range of physics programs from nuclear structure to atomic physics, cluster physics, biology and nanotechnology.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 271 janvier 2013

During these last 5 years, the Tandem has been routinely operated. About 75 beams have been tuned and delivered for experiments: 45 % for nuclear physics and astro-physics; 17 % for the clusters and astro- chemistry and 38 % for instrumentation and other applications. The delivered stable beams represent typically 20% of light ions (proton to 4He), 60% of heavy ions (7Li to 127I) and 20 % of cluster ions Cn, CnHm. The number of operational hours has reached more than 4000 hours/year in average with 86% of availability. The conditioning and the tests of the accelerator take roughly 6 % of the operation time. The unscheduled downtime (∼8 % of the operation time) is mainly due to failures occurring in general within the injector, the laddertron and the ion source.

During the last 2 years, efforts have been made to improve the reliability and the quality of the beam. Technical improvements have been marked by the setting up of a new remote control based on a control command system at high voltage up to 15 MV. Moreover, a new generation of surface ionization ion source has been tested on the injector. A significant gain of a factor 10 has been observed in the production yields in comparison with those of the usual Cs sputter ion sources. In addition, the access system to the accelerator hall and the experimental areas has been upgraded.

Regarding the RNB, the production mode is based on the photo-fission process of a thick UCx target heated up to 2000 °C and using the ISOL technique. The driver is an electron linac of 50 MeV/10 µA. It is composed with a 3 MeV injector (90 kV thermionic gun and a bunching system working at 3 GHz) and an accelerating section which provides an energy gain of 47 MeV. The beam line consists of two dipole magnets and six magnetic quadrupoles. It is equipped with beam diagnostics for the measurement of current, beam position, energy and energy spread. Security and Control system uses an industrial device for the supervision. The RF power is delivered by one 3 GHz klystron and a modulator.

The electron beam is directed towards the production unit which is located inside a bunker, and the released fission fragments from the target are ionized with 1+ charge state and extracted from a 30 KV platform through the mass separator (with a mass resolution of A/∆A=1500). The production target is composed of 150 disks of 238UCx of 14 mm diameter and 1 mm thickness. The target is heated up to 2200 °C (3 kW electric power) using a Tantalum oven. The expected in–target productions at ALTO using a 50 MeV incident electron beam with 10 µA averaged current correspond to 1011-4 1011 fissions/s.

For the ionization of the released fragment of fission, three ion source types can be coupled to the target: Febiad ion source, surface ion source and laser ion source. The resonant ionization laser ion source, RIALTO (Resonant Ionization at ALTO) has been installed recently at the facility. After having performed off-line tests for the production of Sn, Cu and Ga, on-line beams of Ga have been selectively and efficiently produced and delivered to experiments. RIALTO is based on the dye laser technology. It is equipped with a Nd:YAG (100 W, 532 nm) pump laser from Edge wave operating at 10 GHz, two (540-850 nm) dye lasers from Radiant Dyes and BBO doubling units (270-425nm) . In the on line test on the Ga production, an ionization efficiency of more than 10 % at full electron beam intensity has been measured. We have planned to upgrade the laser system by adding a third dye laser to achieve the three-step ionization schemes for the production of Ni, Ge, Sn, Sb and Te. In addition, we have designed a reference cell equipped with an oven and a detection system based on µ-channel plate. This cell will be used before on- line runs to tune the different laser wavelengths by measuring the current of the ions of interest obtained by the interaction of lasers and the evaporated atomic flow. This setup will be also used for the development of unknown laser ionization schemes and also for the laser ionization tests.

In June 2006, first tests have been allowed by the safety authorities. The electron beam limited to an intensity of 100 nA and an energy of 50 MeV has hit the target containing 60 g of 238U. We first have confirmed that the radioprotection measurements fit with our calculation performed. The calculated predictions were done by extrapolating the gain in the yields of all the fission fragments to the yields for the nobles gases obtained during our photo-fission experiment. Measurements of fission fragments production have then been performed during the first ALTO experiment after separation from the mass 78 to the mass 145. The production measured during this experiment and extrapolated to 10 μA beam current.are in total agreement with the calculated prediction. Both 2×105 132Sn and 1.4×103 78Zn per second have been obtained with a 100 nA electron beam current. Additional data have been obtained at nominal intensity using surface ion source. The extrapolation of the whole measured yields at low intensity is in agreement with the expected yields.

A large part of the activity has been accomplished to meet the safety standards requested by the nuclear safety authority. The main concerned points are listed below:

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 272 janvier 2013

Efficient shielding for the target-ion-source unit producing about 1011 fissions/s;

Safe access system and array of n-γ detectors to cover the sensitive area of the experimental hall;

Reliable system for the collection and the storage of radioactive gas from the vacuum pumps;

Upgraded mechanical system to handle the TIS unit after irradiation.

Presently, the facility can deliver the radioactive nuclear beams to five different experimental setups. One of them is equipped with a new beta-decay spectroscopy setup called BEDO (Beta Decay at Orsay). The principle of this setup is to collect the produced exotic neutron rich nuclei on a tape surrounded by a plastic for beta measurement and 5 Ge detectors placed in very close geometry. BGO shielding and plastic veto for Bremstrahlung are used to reduce the gamma background. A second one, under construction, is dedicated to the nuclear orientation measurements on line.

The platform SupraTech - FTE 11 (SupraTech : plateforme technologique pour le développement des cavités accélératrices supraconductrices) The commitment in the future superconducting accelerators projects these last years (Spiral2, Eurisol, Eurotrans…) has led the IPN to meeting challenges for implementing the SRF technology. This technology which is a complex multidisciplinary field is still advancing. In the R&D programs associated to these projects, reliable components need to be designed, manufactured, processed, assembled, tested, and installed on prototype basis. The expertise and experience have been combined to position the laboratory in the building of a technological platform SupraTech in partnership with LAL and CEA-Saclay. The aim of this commitment is to coordinate and to reinforce the pooling of the existing resources. SupraTech is dedicated to the research and developments on superconducting cavities for the future high power and high energy particle accelerators. The platform provides all necessary equipments to prepare, condition, assemble and test superconducting cavities for the superconducting technology based projects in which the IPN is involved.

The main equipments of SupraTech at IPN are: the surface treatment laboratory for the chemical etching of the cavity surface; the 85 m² clean room for preparing and assembling cavities in a mandatory dust free environment; cryogenic test halls hosting vertical and horizontal cryostats to perform cryogenic experiments, both equipped with high capacity pumping stations to allow cryostat operation down to 1.6 K; high power RF sources at 88 MHz, 352 MHz and 704 MHz for cavity and coupler conditioning and testing; a 70 liter/hour helium liquefier to provide liquid helium for the cryogenic experiments and a recovery/compression/storage network for the helium gaz.

These equipments have been progressively installed and commissioned since 2006 and are now intensively used for the completion of research programs. Since 2010, the development of the platform has been pushed further on with the installation of a new experimental hall dedicated to cavity cryogenic tests. This new experimental facility increases the cavity test capability and will give the possibility to especially test complete cryomodules at 352 and 704 MHz thanks to the concentration, in one area, of the RF power sources and the high cryogenic power capacity down to 1.8 K. To host the required two large helium pumping stations, a 150 m² extension of the building 106 has been built and equipped in 2012.

Supratech also hosts low temperature thermometry activities. A large-scale action was completed in 2007 with the tests and the selection and finally the calibration of 7000 thermometers intended to equip the 27 km of the LHC accelerator at CERN. Such an operation had needed to develop an automated calibration station and implement quality procedures. This station is maintained as part of the platform used for the maintenance of thermometers (LHC controls, replacements, new applications CERN) but also to external services.

The platform is also a place for research and development on more fundamental understanding of the behavior of superconducting materials that are or will be involved in the future RF cavities such as superconducting thin layers.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 275 janvier 2013 CACAO platform – FTE : 3.5 (CACAO : Chimie des Actinides et Cibles radioActives à Orsay)

Reaction targets and more specifically radioactive ones are essential for most of the nuclear data experiments related to nuclear fuel cycle experimental physics (n-induced capture and fission cross sections on many actinides). Moreover, the availability of increased neutrons fluxes leads to the possibility to use targets with very small amount of matter, and then, to be able to measure highly radioactive isotopes. Characterization of the targets, that is their chemical and isotopic compositions as well as their homogeneity are also of prime importance especially in the field of the fuel cycle studies, since safety margin of new reactor design are often related to nuclear data uncertainties, which are themselves related to an insufficient knowledge of the used targets.

On one hand, the knowledge and the know-how to manufacture thin layers of radioactive isotopes are becoming increasingly rare within the international community and it is thus becoming increasingly difficult to produce such targets. On another hand, characterization of radioactive samples requires dedicated installations which are expensive to construct and to maintain, in particular because of safety reasons (dedicated equipment in glove boxes, manipulation in controlled zone, difficulties related to possible contamination …). Then, despite a real existing expertise in characterization and surface analysis, there is in France very few installation with the capacity to analyse radioactive samples, and, when existing, they are very specific and not always usable for actinide targets.

Finally, difficulties related to safety have to be taken into account: processing waste (effluent) produced during the manufacture of the targets (large range of isotope of interest, high cost for the waste removal, needed organisation to follow up the radioactive material …

For all these reasons, IPNO has developed a new facility, CACAO, Chimie des Actinides et Cibles radioActives à Orsay (actinide chemistry and radioactive target at Orsay). Indeed, the laboratory has a long tradition of radiochemistry which is mandatory to develop such an installation. A strong service of radiation protection and prevention is able to manage nuclear installations and the stable target service master different techniques of thin film deposition, which are used as backing for radioactive targets. Besides, this service is nearly the last one in France which can supply to all requests, even if the IPNO programs are not concerned.

Even if the leading reason why the installation has been developed is the physics related to nuclear fuel cycle, radioactive targets are also used for super-heavy element physics (studies mainly developed at Ganil/SPIRAL2) and for astrophysics studies.

After 5 years of work to find financing and partners1, a building has been refurbished, put into the standards and equipped. CACAO has been inaugurated in 2013, July the 16th.

The main developed technique is electroplating and/or molecular plating under glove boxes. It has the advantage to have a very good efficiency and is relatively cheap when compared to evaporation under vacuum (an evaporation device under glove box costs approximately 100 k€ and has to be dedicated to one isotope). Besides difficulties related to manipulation of very thin layers (sometimes less than 1 µm) under glove boxes, one of the main difficulty is to find the appropriate couple electrolyte solution/backing to be able to make the target, without the forbidden contaminant required to the experiment. Most of the time, this requires a R&D program, gathering radiochemistry and surface state studies of the backing on which the isotope has to be deposited. For this purpose, an AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) has been acquired, in order to study the surface state of the backing and eventually, to be able to optimize it for a more robust and stable deposit.

An α spectrometry of the target, coupled with an autoradiography imaging can provide a precise cartography of the deposit.

In addition of these equipments, we recently acquired a multi-beam sputtering device in order to be able to protect the targets against oxygen, thanks to a very thin deposit of inert isotope (e.g. gold).

1 Unless if the main part of the financing comes from CNRS/IN2P3, GANIL, CEA/DIF, Université Paris-Sud, and the national program PACEN have also contributed to the cost of the installation. Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 276 janvier 2013

CACAO is then equipped with a glove box dedicated to the fabrication of the targets, another one equipped with a vacuum chamber for the α spectrometry, an oven for the annealing of the targets and a controlled atmosphere glove box equipped with the multi-beam-sputtering device. We also have a fume-hood to work when the activity does not need glove box.

Fig 1: General overview of the CACAO laboratory.

In order to develop our know-how, some targets have already been done in other installations of IPNO: 235, 238U and 232Th targets.

Virtual Data Platform

Virtual Data is the name of group of interest created by the P2IO LABEX in 2010, to gather the expertises of the different P2IO computing departments. Some elements very quickly appeared:

 The volume of data in all our scientific fields is huge : LHC experiments generates in P2IO laboratories 15 PB of raw data and 15 PB of simulated data per year. Upcoming experiments in other fields are foreseen with similar volumes.

 Both storage and computing are challenging. Distributed computing infrastructure (DCI) emerged as the main approach. Some applications require High Performances Computing (HPC) resources

 Most of the P2IO laboratories are involded in the grid project, more precisely,they belong to the GRIF project (Grille Ile de France). But emergence of clouds certainly is a key technology for DCIs.

 Infrastructures are a major issue for hosting required resources in P2IO laboratories :

there are many medium or small computing rooms. They are costly to operate, particularly because of cooling problems.

It would be a clear benefit to share the expertise of P2IO computing people, and to develop common strategies. It would be a good way to increase visibility in computing expertise for P2IO computing people.

All the P2IO laboratories are involved in VirtualData. 130 people covering the main computing expertises, work in the different computing departments. There are about 55 persons working in resource operations with a strong expertise in DCI (grids and clouds) and 75 persons dedicated to software developments such as visualization, data management, databases, numeric computations, parallelism, new hardware architectures (Graphics Processing Units GPU), online and real-time acquisitions. Some partnerships already exist as for instance the P2IO R&D project GridCL about GPUs and their integration into DCIs. The Virtual Data structure will allow to develop these types of collaborations.

Very early in the project the need of new data centers clearly appeared. P2IO decided in 2010 to replace its existing computing rooms (about 10) by 2 datacenters shared by all P2IO labs. The focus was put on energy efficiency because it is a major concern for all the laboratories. All of them have old computing rooms, with old cooling systems very expensive or to maintain or to replace. The new datacenters were designed around energy efficiency to lower the operating cost of computing and to save at least 30% energy. 1 room is located in Orsay valley (Univ. Paris-Sud building 206) and the other one will be located in Palaiseau (Ecole Polytechnique) for higher availability of critical services.

The Orsay data center first room will be delivered at the beginning of November 2013. The Initial phase is a 100 m2 room with a capacity of 400 kW IT (30 racks). It will be extensible up to 220 m2 and a capacity of 1,5 MW IT (84 racks). There is a modular design allowing increment of 300 KW IT. The first design includes a redundancy in the production of chilled water and in the future, redundancy will be extended to the electrical power. The cost of the initial phase is about 950k € shared by a P2IO Labex funding (22%) LAL (57%), IPNO and IAS (19%), CSNSM and IMNC (2%) and LPT (0,5%) . The moving of existing resources will star in November 2013. The IPNO will move all the grid units, while the laboratory servers will stay in house.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 280 janvier 2013

Dosimetry activities

FTE : 4.72

The laboratory provides a service which evaluates external radiation exposure and is used by other research laboratories of CNRS and Universities all over France. The laboratory is approved by French authorities to offer dosimetry solutions for various exposure conditions in mixed fields of photon-, beta or neutron radiation. The dosimetry systems consist of radio photo luminescent detectors (RPL), solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD) and thermo-luminescent detectors (TLD). An overview of the dosimetry infrastructure is presented. The total volume of dosimeters processed is roughly stable year-on-year, however figures show a progressive increase in extremities dosimetry. Finally, the laboratory invests in the necessary projects for the sustainability of the dosimetry activities.

Activities and results

Key figures Annually the service monitors the doses of over 2 300 workers and 700 controlled areas. This monitoring was carried out using about 18400 passive dosimeters. Although the total volume of analyzes is stable over the period 2009/2013 (±2%), the breakdown by categories (whole body, extremities) shows an increase in extremity dosimetry in the last few years. It has increased by 14% in 2011 and a rise of 20% is expected in 2013.

Monitoring of the workforce for education and research groups in 2012 shows a total collective effective dose (photons, neutrons) of 12.25 man.mSv and a maximum individual dose accumulated over 12 months of 0.54 mSv. Our workforce monitoring in the education/research sector represents 15% of the total monitored in France and contributes to 3 % of the National collective dose for this group of the population.

The 260 agents who were monitored at extremities (photons, beta) in 2012 constitute 25% of the total group followed in France in the field of Education and research. The maximum individual dose accumulated over 12 consecutive months is 4.25 mSv and remains much lower than the prescribed dose limits for the public.

Review of the dosimetry infrastructure

Whole body /Neutron dosimetry A first characterization of the neutron dosimetry system was carried out between 2010 and 2012 in order to provide a complete and accurate view of the overall dosimetric performance (threshold, linearity, response to radon, angular and energy response). The difficulties faced in conducting these studies were the limited availability of facilities providing mono-energetic beams of qualified reference dosimetric radiation, and the high cost of these irradiations. The completion of this work has shown that the performance of this system is not completely satisfactory, particularly in the energy range below 2MeV. A joint project involving the Dosimetry Service and Instrumentation Division is currently under discussion and is aimed at optimization of the response of neutron dosimeters as a function of energy.

Whole body /Photon and Beta dosimetry The review of the RPL dosimetry system, installed in July 2009, reveals a good performance since its deployment and has the following advantages:

Measuring performance: reduction of the threshold; improved dosimetric performance: linearity, energy response, angular response; reduction of measurement uncertainties.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 281 janvier 2013

Features management system (more reliable identification system; implementation of traceability in real- time providing and operating steps; new features for the automatic management of natural background radiation; gradual reduction of the delay for the edition of results)

Cost reduction of the calibration measurement systems.

The superior performance of this system has been demonstrated several times from 2010 to 2013 in the context of National and European inter-comparisons organized respectively by IRSN (Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety) and Eurados (European Radiation Dosimetry Group).

Responsibilities in dosimetry management

ASN Approval and Cofrac Accreditation The Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) approves the dosimetry laboratories for the assessment of doses received by workers. Our laboratory received this approval by ASN on April 2, 2010 for a period of 3 years and on March 31, 2013 for a period of 5 years. The scope of the approval includes the measurement of personal dose equivalents for the whole body to photon-, beta- or neutron radiation fields. During this mandate, the Cofrac accreditation of the laboratory was the subject of a pluri-annual audit program and the laboratory obtained a re-accreditation for a period of 5 years starting in June 2012. An extension to the accreditation scope for extremity dosimetry is planned for late 2015.

Responsibilities in field dosimetry There is a request by the Ministry of Labor to establish a National exposure register for individual workers. This would allow use of accumulated data to reconstruct the cumulative effective dose over several years, or even over the worker's whole life. Significant efforts will be undertaken to define specifications with our partners (doctors, experts in radiation protection, employers) and authorities (Ministry of Labour, ASN, IRSN).

The laboratory also offers its expertise in other projects. One example is the collaboration with the IRSN to explore the secondary neutron doses received by pediatric patients during intracranial proton therapy treatments at the Curie Institute in Orsay. The results from these studies have been published in Journal of Radiation Protection Dosimetry. A poster was presented during the seminar of the French Society for Radiation Protection (SFRP) in 2013.

The knowledge of the laboratory, acquired during the implementation of the quality system, has been the subject of an article in the book 'The quality approach in public research and higher Education' by Editions Quae in 2009. A talk was presented at the 4th meeting of CNRS quality network in research (QeR).

A member of our laboratory is involved as an expert in standardization committees of BNEN (Bureau of Standards for Nuclear Facilities). He recently participated in the revision of the 62387 standard that applies to all kinds of passive dosimetry systems and in a review of the order of 30 December 2004 on individual information dosimetry of workers exposed to ionizing radiation.

To meet the legitimate societal matters about the impact of radioactivity, the service dosimetry is now a member of Becquerel IN2P3 network.

Finally, the lab also offers training skills in radiation dosimetry. Courses and seminars are organized several times each year inside or outside the Institute (universities, INSTN). Our laboratory participates in training through research master levels, we have offered internship subjects for M1 or M2 each year since 2008.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 286 janvier 2013 PREVENTION AND RADIATION PROTECTION (SPR)

FTE : 8

The SPR advises the management of the Institute on the implementation and enforcement of current legislation. This involves the application of regulations designed to protect professionals, members of the general public and the environment from receiving radiation doses through unintentional exposure.

The risk of exposure, for both the environment and workers is minimized through use of the ALARA principle – As Low As Reasonably Achievable.

In the past, radiation protection was traditionally separated from other safety hazard issues. However, in physics experiments the basic equipment and environment is of a “multi-risk” nature involving, for example, accelerated particle beams and lasers, X-rays, high voltages, and radiochemicals.

In order to maintain a coherent approach in the management of occupational hazards the Radiation Protection Group and Safety Quality Environment groups were merged into a single division in 2011. The new group, placed directly under the responsibility of the Institute's Director, deals with five main topics:

Radiological protection related to IPN activities,

All other safety and health issues,

Environmental protection,

Radiological control of external activities (government approved),

Quality management.

Internal activities

Based on the ALARA principle, the radiation protection group (RPG) ensures the enforcement of radiological protection of workers, the public and the environment from ionizing radiation risks. In order to achieve this, the group undertakes various tasks:

* Environmental Radiation control (continuous monitoring of the background levels in laboratories),

* Non-contamination controls (monitoring the absence of undesired radioactive substances),

* Job analysis of workers at risk, providing feedback to the Medical Prevention group,

* Solid and liquid sample analyses using gamma spectrometry,

* Information and training on the radiological protection of workers,

* Simulations of shielding and other simulations, as needed, by the Dosimetry Group.

* In addition, and according to the laboratory statutes, the RPG is particularly involved with the general problem of handling unexposed material issued from exposed areas, as well as the handling of final radioactive waste.

* The RPG ensures the traceability of production, movement, transfer and loan of radiation sources.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 287 janvier 2013 External activities

The RPG is recognized by the government as a nationally certified laboratory for external control in the field of radiation exposure, in compliance with the public health and occupational safety laws.

Universities, INRA, CNRS, KAYME, AEROLAB and STORENGY, among others, benefit from the group's skills.

Each year, this activity involves around 50 controls and covers the administrative and technical clauses adopted by operators to enforce laws, control background levels and ensure the absence of contamination. In addition, X-ray generators and sealed sources are systematically controlled, independently of their pre- requisites for complying with standards.

In January 2012, the IPN was granted a National Accreditation from COFRAC for compliance with the ISO 17020 quality standard for this activity.

Health and Safety

The main objective of the group is to evaluate and prevent professional hazards due to scientific, technical and administrative activities. This means identifying potential risks due to many causes, such as, handling of radioactive elements, working with class 4 lasers, using pressurized gasses and potentially toxic chemicals, experimenting near accelerator beams, but also using low and high voltage electrical currents, work on mechanical machines or in high pressure and low temperature devices and, more commonly, watch a CTR, walk throughout the Institute, climb stairs, operate photocopiers or travel to worldwide meetings. This classification leads to suggestions as to how to prevent accidents or professional diseases and provide appropriate training, tools and methods to limit their occurrence and effects.

A specific database, the “Safety Hazard Centralized Database”, was established in early 2004 to initiate a general safety improvement program at all levels of the Institute, it was updated in 2012. It also keeps each research groups informed of new developments related to safety regulations and standards and organizes exercises and training sessions around these topics.

Environmental Protection

Beyond internal safety, the group has naturally undertaken actions leading to environmental protection. This is particularly true in terms of toxic chemicals use, while handling sealed or unsealed sources, material activation or radiation exposure, chemical contamination, energy and water consumption as well as waste management.

Due to its activities, the Institute has been listed as a “classified installation for environmental protection” by the French authorities. The group is responsible for the evaluation of environmental hazards and promotes all actions, compatible with research activities, that keep these hazards “As Low As Reasonably Achievable” for surrounding populations.

Quality Management

Methods currently used internally by the group for quality management in the fields of safety and environmental and radiation protection are being promoted and developed. They are provided, on a consultancy basis, to research groups willing to comply with quality standards for their own activities. This is already the case whenever the IPN is involved in large multinational projects or when its expertise is requested as a standard for reference measurements (of very low temperatures, dosimetry, radiation measurements, etc…). Quality training is provided by the group, within the CNRS, for large projects and several other research laboratories and organizations.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 292 janvier 2013 Communication - Scientific and Technical Information

Introduction

A large part of the department's activities covers the organization of internal and external scientific events (workshops, seminars, international conferences) in which members of the laboratory are key players, and as such, contributes to enhancing the laboratory's scientific visibility. Since the change of director in 2010 communication has been a priority; a new logo was created, frequent scientific news updates are provided, and assorted publicity items are available (mugs, badges, cards).

Organization and evolution

The original Communication department created in 2000 piloted both the Reception and Copy Services until 2010 and was re-organized in 2012. The Reception was attached to the new General Affairs department. The Copy Services, which included two full-time staff, ceased activity in 2011. At the time there was a steady decline in production and this, coupled with mounting costs in machine rentals and maintenance, led to choosing the more attractive rates provided by external suppliers. The STI and Communication department were merged, and so optimizing the available manpower.

Manpower 2008-2013

The Communication team consists of a communication officer, who is also the departmental head, and a graphics designer-webmaster. They are in regular contact with the Director and the International Relations project manager. The STI section includes a principal and assistant librarian who collect and process then disseminate scientific information in the form of books, newspapers, journals and periodicals. The library also plays a role in preserving and enhancing the laboratory's scientific heritage (journals, monographs and archives). The library has volumes from the collections of the College de France and the Radium Institute (founded by Marie Curie). The library amounts to some 14,000 books and 400 periodicals. In 2012, the main library hall was completely renovated and reorganized to provide a more coherent classification of periodicals and collections.

Assessment 2008-2013

Activities were organized with several objectives in mind: to develop the image of the laboratory for very different publics; to strengthen the institutional identity; to encourage academic exchanges, and to represent, and act, in national and international scientific networks. These points are addressed in the following paragraphs.

Until 2009, a paper magazine IPN Science was published (1000 copies per year) to promote the IPN research activities. The laboratory also received notable guests, ranging from politicians to academic and industrial partners with visits and receptions organized as needed. Each year the Institute opens its doors to the general public, during the Journées du Patrimoine and the Festival of Science weekend. The lab also participated in two events open to the general public: one to present a scientific center for the treatment of cancers, and a forum for the discussion of physics techniques used in the medical domain.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 293 janvier 2013

Within the scientific community many workshops, seminars and conferences were organized with the help of the Communication department, and ranged from small (~60 participants) to large scale (~200 people) events and a range of budgets. In most cases this also involved creating an event website, posters, flyers, and so on. Prior to 2010, on average, 6 events per year were organized, and in recent years this has doubled.

The internal paper publication Lettre was replaced in 2010 by intranet information pages. Administrative documents and procedures are now available through this site. A more modern dynamical website will see the day in the very near future.

The Communication department plays an important role in handling laboratory production, as for example, the March 2011 report on “Prospective days looking at 10 years - to forge a vision". A recent survey was conducted to better understand the Scientific and Technical Information needs and subsequently determined the choice of scientific journal subscriptions. Weekly seminars were managed by the Communication department and since 2011 the emphasis has been placed on the diversity of topics. An effort has been made to be regular and to increase the frequency of seminars.

The department has also participated in external communication events in collaboration with the equivalent departments at the Science Faculty, the CNRS Delegation in Gif/Yvette and occasionally with regional associations involved in the dissemination of scientific culture such as “Scube” and the “Maison des Sciences” in Chatenay-Malabry. With the CNRS, the lab played a leading role in promoting “sciencesconf.org” a web platform developed by the CNRS CCS department for the management of all scientific events. Recently, the librarian participated in a document pooling event, aimed at optimizing the IN2P3 scientific collections.

Pedagogical events with different levels of academic exchange are organized for the general public and young people. At the Festival of Science, researchers and engineers give guided tours and participate in playful mini-workshops for children, and which have had a great success. A partnership was established between the lab and a local town (Igny) for the centenary of the Nobel Prize of Marie Curie where small experiments for primary school pupils were prepared by the IPN. The lab also joined the so-called masterclasses, steered by CERN and the European Eppog network, to promote Physics. The lab participated in the IN2P3 NEPAL conferences for schools and was also involved in a short collaboration with the Observatoire de Paris-Meudon giving lectures and doing small experiments in schools, during the World Year of Astronomy. In June of each year the IPN co-organized a pedagogical training day for high school science teachers. The IPN also takes part in the Summer School de l’infiniment grand à l’infiniment petit for students from general and applied physics (“L3” level).

With the Director's approval the Institute provides assistance to the general IN2P3 and CEA communities. For example, the full responsibility of organizing the national prospective days of the “CNRS -IN2P3 / CEA- IRFU” was entrusted to the department. The department was also involved in the activities of the P2IO Physique des 2 Infinis et des Origines activities through partner lab brochures for the inauguration day in January 2012; La Nuit des 2 infinis (October 2012 and 2013) and the exhibition Zoom2013 . The department also covers meetings of the NuPECC subgroups, and the ESF (European Science Foundation) expert committee.

High-impact events

September 2010: inauguration of a series of superconducting cavities designed and manufactured by the IPN. This event highlighted the on-site valuable engineering expertise.

June 2012: the first Equipex workshop Andromede supported by the IPN.

November 2012: the Minister of Higher Education and Research visited the lab.

May 2013: Inauguration of the ALTO accelerator. This event was preceded by several articles in the national and specialized press: CNRS Journal, Le Monde, Science et Vie.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 302 janvier 2013 CONTINOUS TRAINING ACTIVITIES

In recent years, the IPN has developed a proactive training approach to maintain and develop the skills level of its staff, and to prepare professional evolution related to future technological changes. This policy fits the scientific approach of our laboratory, through our commitment to many collaborations and projects.

In the following a brief review is givcen of the training activities at IPN, through the last five years:

 IPN had 350 members in 2012 (including PhD students).  On average, about 6000 hours of training and 300 training actions per year were delivered from 2010 to 2012 for all personnel.  The total sum spent on skills development activities is approximately 150000€ per year.

In 2012, the hours of training per theme were distributed as follows :

• 32 % of scientific and technical training (34 % in 2011, 36% in 2010) :

Most of it was provided by the IN2P3, which organized this year the Joliot-Curie School, a School of mechatronics, a School of instrumentation, training in CAD/CAE (CATIA, ANSYS, CADENCE…).

Among the programs organized by the CNRS (national and regional actions), the most important for the IPN staff are about vacuum technology, cryogenics…

A total of 77 actions of scientific and technical training, representing 1710 hours.

• 24% of general training (25 % in 2011, 18% in 2010) :

In this topic, you will find training in project management (monitoring of European projects), team management (annual performance activity), financial and human resources management (financial procedures in CNRS, recruitment…). Several people participed in networks meetings (communication, management of research units).

A total of 1305 hours was spent on general training.

• 15 % of language training (16% in 2011, 21% in 2010) :

These actions affect all staff members : engineers, technicians, researchers, PhD students, post-docs.

Self-Evaluation

During the dicussions and brainstorming of the long range plan (2010-2020) of the institute that started in 2010 and finished midd-2011, all groups had the opportunity to assess their strength and weakeness, as part of the process for the elaboration of future direction and projects. This, together with the conclusions of the various evaluations by the Scientific and Technical Committee of the institute, allows elaborating the following Self-evaluation report.

This will be done on the seven thematic activities

– Nuclear structure and dynamics

The IPNO has a longstanding tradition in the field of nuclear structure and dynamics and it has been very well recognised during the years as one of the excellent centres driving the research and developments in this field.

The activity of the past 5 years was concentrated on the study of exotic nuclei and in this connection it had tackled three specific topics presently receiving very much attention in the international context. These topics are: i) the study of the evolution of the spherical shell structure in nuclei far from stability, ii) the investigation of weakly bound states and nuclear resonances, and iii) the study of the nuclear equation of state as a function of temperature and asymmetry in the proton and neutron numbers. Most of the progress made in this field is connected to the availability of new radioactive beams both in France and abroad. It is important to stress that the group has contributed substantially and in a very visible fashion not only to the exploitation of the beams with a very good scientific programme but also to the production of new beams which are essential to make new breakthroughs in the field in the coming years. Indeed the ALTO laboratory, recognised by the EC for European transnational access, has a very new facility, at the cutting edge of technology, for the production of neutron-rich nuclei through photofission and using the ISOL technique. This facility is the first worldwide and thus collaborations with other laboratories such as TRIUMF in Canada (that will use this technique in the future) are becoming very strong. In addition, particular efforts were made in the past, and are still being made now, to develop instrumentation suitable to perform measurements with rare isotopes. To be mentioned in particular is the array MUST2, designed for this purpose, which has produced a lot of data and is still producing many interesting results.

A well focussed and coherent programme was realised producing a number of highlights for the three topics representing major advances in the field. In particular, very important results were obtained in support of the modifications of the standard shell model for neutron-rich nuclei and in support of the breakdown of the Z=8 shell closure in unbound proton-rich oxygen isotopes. Multi-fragmentation studies were aiming at the search for the α-condensate state (Hoyle state) of 12C (relevant for the nucleosynthesis of carbon) and at the determination via X-ray measurements of the minimum fission mean time in superheavy nuclei. It is very unfortunate that the multi-fragmentation activity will be subcritical in personnel in the next years due to retirements so that interesting programmes similar to those on α-condensate states (Hoyle state in 12C) and hot superheavy nuclei could come to a stop in France. Therefore, IPNO has to make a decision soon as to whether it wants to continue the scientific activities of the nuclear dynamics group by making new appointments possible.

The high quality of the research has attracted students and postdoctoral fellows to IPNO, also from outside France, as well as national and international users to the ALTO facilities. The good organisation of the local teams and support staff is a key point for the successful realisation of experiments at the accelerator complex. The study of the structure of several photofission products via beta decay has evolved into a very extensive programme and a niche for which ALTO is unique and makes this facility instrumental to pave the way to the research at the larger facility SPIRAL2 at GANIL. Indeed to contribute to the experimental programme of SPIRAL2, developments for the construction of new instrumentation are ongoing. In particular, the group is actively involved in the realisation of the detector systems FAZIA, GASPARD, ACTAR and PARIS. It is also involved in the construction of the facility DESIR, partly designed for beta- decay measurements, and the facility S3, a separator designed to produce radioactive ions with reactions induced by the high-intensity beams of the LINAG of SPIRAL2.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 307 janvier 2013

It is important to underline that the rather short-term future is well planned and goes strongly into the direction of fully exploiting the potential of the ALTO laboratory and increasing and strengthening the international collaboration. The Longer-term future is well defined and will focus on the exploitation of the beams that will be available at SPIRAL2.

The success of the short- and long-term future programmes relies not only on the well recognised competence and enthusiasm of the existing teams but also on the necessary and well deserved financial and human resources that are needed in this connection.

- Hadrons and hadronic matter

The experimental hadronic physics programme at IPNO consists of mainly three on-going projects. It features a very competitive involvement within large international collaborations and has resulted in a large scientific production that is testimony to the high quality of the research programme.

The main topics of research are centred on understanding the structure of hadrons in terms of quarks and gluons, looking at the effect of the medium on the properties of hadrons, and, exploring the role of quarks and gluons in nuclei and matter under extreme conditions.

The research efforts are mainly concentrated at the following three Facilities:

1)JLab: Structure of hadrons determined by measuring General Parton Distributions IPNO has been a leader in promoting the measurement of General Parton Distributions (GPDs) as a powerful and unique tool to access for the first time the detailed partonic structure of nucleons. The IPNO group has established itself as an international leader in this area, and has produced several important results from experiments in both Hall A and Hall B at JLab. The IPNO group is among the main proponents of GPD experiments with the 12-GeV beam at JLab. IPNO played a key role in making the measurement of GPDs one of the priority themes for the 12-GeV upgrade at JLab. The new facilities combined with recent theoretical breakthroughs will lead for the first time to a “complete 3D picture of the nucleon” substantially increasing our understanding of QCD. The group has contributed to all aspects of this project (physics proposals, theoretical methods, simulations and detector development). The expertise of the group, its track record and current manpower are strong guarantees for the future success of this project in the next 3 to 5 years.

2) CERN-LHC: Charmonia physics - Quark Gluon Plasma IPNO has a long tradition in studying new states of matter dominated by quark and gluon degrees of freedom and was among the early proponents of studying J/  production a phase transition to the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The current group has been actively involved in the ALICE project at the LHC since the beginning of the collaboration. Its main research topic is based on the study of quarkonia production measured with the muon spectrometer. IPNO has played a leading role in the design and construction of the ALICE muon spectrometer. These important investments over the past few years have produced very interesting physics results. The group has actively participated in the analysis of p-p, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at different energies leading to new results concerning Charmonia production in the LHC energy regime. The productivity in terms of publications in high-quality journals has been outstanding in the last few years, i.e. since the start of operation of ALICE. The study of the QGP phase of matter continues to be one of the top goals of hadronic/particle physics. LHC is the premiere facility for the study of QGP for the next 10 years. The ALICE group at IPNO is involved in the ALICE upgrade (muon forward tracker) and should have plenty of interesting physics results in the next 5 to 7 years.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 308 janvier 2013

3) GSI: Modification of Hadron properties in dense nuclear matter The IPNO group involved in the HADES experiment at GSI has invested a lot of efforts in the last few years. Its main goal has been to study hadronic matter and possible medium modification of hadrons through the di-lepton emission in pp, pd, pA and AA reactions. The group has produced extensive results in di-lepton spectroscopy but so far no clear indication of medium modification of the light mesons has been observed. The coupling of the mesons to baryonic resonances has been shown to be critical in understanding the di-lepton yield. IPNO is leading the effort to run the pion-beam experiment in 2014. This is a critical measurement, which will be complementary to the di-lepton measurements done with other probes.

In the last few years, several IPNO scientists previously involved with experiments at Mainz and JLab have, together with the IPNO HADES group, formed a group interested in measuring the time-like form factor of the nucleon with the PANDA detector at FAIR. This is a very interesting project complementary to the GPD studies of the structure of the nucleon carried at JLab. A lot of feasibility and theoretical work as well as detector R&D has been done. However, due to upcoming retirements, by the time the FAIR project will be in operation (>2019), only 3 of the current seven permanent IPNO staff (who are interested in PANDA) will be left. This weak point remains a concern as without a combination of a recruitmen of at least one to two young researchers and a closer collaboration between the three hadronic physics groups, the institute will not reach enough critical mass to have a significant impact in PANDA.

- Theory

The IPN Orsay theory group conducts a broad and active programme covering frontline research in a variety of areas that are presently under intense investigation worldwide: from QCD and hadron physics to nuclear structure and reactions, nuclear astrophysics and neutrino physics, plus further activities focussed on ultracold bosonic and fermionic gases. The research output of the IPNO theory group during the period of the last five years demonstrates strong international visibility in terms of a large number of publications in high-impact journals - more than 120 such publications from 2008. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the group attracts a large number of collaborating scientists worldwide.

The activities in QCD and Hadron Physics include a range of topics such as the deeper understanding of quarkonium production in pp collisions at RHIC, Tevatron and LHC, and detailed quantitative investigations of low-energy QCD with successful applications of Chiral Perturbation Theory and extensions using dispersion relations. Our understanding of QCD at high energies as well as at the critical frontier between perturbative and non-perturbative regimes will be strongly affected by an original proposal that is now led by a member of the IPNO theory group. This is the very interesting AFTER project, a fixed-target experiment with extracted LHC beams, which will give access to new domains of particle and nuclear physics complementing that of collider experiments.

The research in Nuclear Structure Theory is based on decades of expertise of the IPNO theory group in the development of energy-density functional approaches and methods beyond mean-field theory. The group pursues activities replacing previous phenomenological Skyrme and Gogny forces by the more fundamental nuclear interactions derived, e.g., from chiral effective field theory, including tensor-force degrees of freedom and/or three-body forces. In parallel, an interesting branch of research of the IPNO theory group, using density-functional theory, is the detailed investigation of the emergence of structures in nuclear systems, from crystalline arrangements of clusters in lighter nuclei to the homogeneous quantum liquid characteristics of heavy nuclei.

Concerning the theory of Nuclear Reactions, the IPNO group successfully investigates important mechanisms such as multi-nucleon transfer, heavy-ion fusion, etc., with special emphasis on the sensitivity to entrance-channel effects. Research in Nuclear Astrophysics has focussed on the one hand on processes relevant for the dynamics of supernovae, such as nuclear electron-capture cross sections, and on the other hand on superfluidity properties of the crust of neutron stars. The theoretical investigations in Neutrino Physics have concentrated on important topics such as matter-induced flavour conversion of supernova neutrinos, neutrino scattering from electrons and nucleons aiming for Standard Model tests.

Research in the field of Ultracold Atoms is an additional line of important activities that draw attention through analogies between nuclear systems and ultracold gases of trapped atoms. In particular, the IPN group is engaged in studies of atomic systems with magnetic dipole-dipole interactions that have a close correspondence to the driving tensor interaction between nucleons.

In summary, the fields of activities covered by the IPNO theory group are at the forefront of research in the physics of strongly interacting systems. It is competitive at the high international standards realised in this area of research. The group has been strengthened in recent years thanks to the recruitment of several high-level physicists which led to the emergence of new challenging topics. The group should now continue to build on this positive dynamics to enhance scientific exchanges within the group and with experimentalists from the lab.

- Physics and Radio-Chemistry of nuclear energy

The domain of Physics and Chemistry of Nuclear Energy comprises 3 research fields and one service. The three research fields are “Nuclear Data”, “Simulations for nuclear systems and scenarios”, and “Radionuclides in the fuel cycle and the environment”. The service concerns the CACAO laboratory for actinide chemistry and the production of radioactive targets, which was under development in the evaluation period and became operational starting this year.

The main binding theme of these three research fields is the field of application: nuclear energy, but a lot of fundamental research is being conducted, in particular, in the nuclear-data and radiochemistry field, which has much wider ranges of potential applications. The topics addressed are diverse reflecting the competence of the staff and their field of specialisation. Commonalities between the research fields are the thorium fuel cycle and the impact of nuclear energy on the environment through waste production and minimisation on the one hand and the biological and environmental impact of radioisotopes on the other hand. An important connection between the three research fields is through the target laboratory CACAO exploiting chemistry expertise to produce and characterise high quality targets for nuclear-data measurements. Other connections are certainly possible and could be further explored and encouraged. This is in particular the case in the relation between nuclear data and scenarios where nuclear data should help improving the accuracy of the studies on scenarios.

Although more coherence between the three research fields could benefit the visibility and attractiveness of IPN Orsay, coherence is by nature limited by the need of a strong fundamental science orientation in such different disciplines like nuclear data and radiochemistry. Research in these disciplines is not necessarily always motivated by the application “nuclear energy”. The actual coherence and synergy between the three research activities for the application of nuclear energy must be further enhanced in the future.

In the following, each activity will be discussed separately:

1)Nuclear data The nuclear-data team pursues three main programmes. At the CERN n_TOF facility fission cross sections and angular distributions are measured using the time-of-flight technique and a stack of 10 position- sensitive parallel-plate avalanche counters in a setup developed by IPN Orsay. Using thin target backings both fission fragments are detected with excellent separation from the alpha activity and with the ability to determine the angular distribution over the full range of interest. The latter feature is an improvement over the first setup developed for the CERN n_TOF facility and involves placing the targets at 45 degrees rather than perpendicular to the neutron beam. Although PPAC technology is over 25 years old the application of this technique to neutron-induced fission cross-section and angular-distribution measurements is an innovation by IPN Orsay allowing access not only to a wide angular range but also to a wide energy range from thermal to 1 GeV energies

At the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory the group is involved in the study of actinide neutron capture by the surrogate method, which comprises the use of a transfer reaction with detection of the projectile-like particle for the study of fission or gamma-emission probabilities. This is a very attractive method as it allows the use of advanced measurement techniques to rapidly extract a large amount of data that are hard or impossible to obtain otherwise. If the simple Bohr compound-nucleus model is applicable, neutron-induced fission and radiative-capture reactions may be inferred by a simple model estimate of the compound- nucleus formation probability multiplied with the probability for the outgoing channel measured by the surrogate technique. For fission, this often works with reasonable accuracy, but for capture this depends critically on the difference in spin states populated by the neutron-capture and transfer reactions. Other reaction mechanisms may play a critical role as well.

At GSI the group is concerned with the SOFIA experiment which aims at full mass and charge resolution of fission fragments and the determination of energies of both fragments from the Coulomb-excitation of 193Hg-238Np using inverse kinematics. The projectiles are produced by fragmentation or transfer reactions of a 238U beam of 1 GeV/u incident on a Be target. The setup was developed in a collaboration to which IPN contributed two MWPCs. Preliminary results of a first experiment show that full Z-separation and nearly complete mass separation are within reach. The experiment is a beautiful demonstration of what may be brought to applied low-energy nuclear physics with the techniques developed over the past 20 years for fundamental nuclear physics. Of course, the real value for applications depends on the systems that may be addressed and the relevance of the data for neutron-induced and occasionally real-photon induced nuclear fission.

A development for the future concerns the new neutron source LICORNE at the ALTO facility. Using a 7Li beam incident on a hydrogenous target neutrons are produced in inverse kinematics, focussed in a forward cone. This leads to “monochromatic” neutron beams of higher intensities and the possibility to place detectors nearby while remaining out of the neutron field. Several detector systems may be used to address different physics cases of interest to applications. A promising option is to couple LICORNE with ORGAM for nuclear structure studies. How these technical possibilities may be used in the interest of nuclear energy is a point to be developed by the group but the potential of this new neutron source combined with the equipment available at IPNO is certainly very interesting.

2) Simulations for nuclear systems and scenarios Based on nuclear reactor physics, a deep knowledge of nuclear data and responding to societal demands, the objective of this research field is to assess the global behaviour of country-wide nuclear-power production, considering in the process resources, waste production, reprocessing, radiation effects and inventories of fissile material in the fuel cycle. The group has a high national visibility (CEA, CNRS, CNE, OPECST) and plays a leading role in scenario development at IN2P3.

The research field focuses on fuel-cycle scenarios for the Th/U fuel cycle. It is part of a larger programme of work for this fuel cycle by IN2P3 and is partly supported by the GEDEPEON initiative (a collaboration between IN2P3, CEA, AREVA and EDF that ended 2012) and by NEEDS (systèmes nucléaires et scénarios). Scenario studies focussed on the role that Th may play in decreasing the use of U in the fuel cycle and on the impact of 232U on the radiation hazard in fabricating, handling and reprocessing the fuel. Software packages (MURE, CHARS, CLASS) to enable these studies are developed in collaboration with LPSC and Subatech. The studies have provided some important new insights into various advantages and inconveniences of nuclear fuel-cycle scenarios; for example, little uranium savings, higher minor-actinide production and lower Pu production in double-strata scenarios when compared to fast-reactor scenarios. However, only steady-state scenarios have essentially been considered. While it is acknowledged that steady-state scenarios provide important information on the fuel cycle, reaching steady state may take in some cases more than 250 years, a time scale too long for decision making! It is not at all clear whether conclusions from steady-state scenarios are still valid in a transient world. The group has started the development of a complex code dedicated to realistic transient scenarios, in order to determine whether conclusions from steady-state scenarios are still valid in a transient world. From the presentation, the role of this work in a bigger picture of the Th/U fuel cycle is unclear. The group has studied 233U production schemes with minimum 232U production, but while admitting the radioprotection constraints for fuel production with 232U, it remains unclear whether, and under which conditions and for which thresholds,

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 311 janvier 2013 these constraints become critical in decision making. Options and limitations of introducing a Th/U fuel cycle or a mixed cycle involving U, Pu and Th and the potential engineering concerns should be spelled out clearer so that the role of the work of the group is more evident. This would require a strong collaboration with nuclear energy industry that is interested in developing alternative cycles.

The future orientations on innovative fuel cycle strategies and sensitivity studies are strongly encouraged, but the group should collaborate in a multidisciplinary effort to implement the sociological aspect into scenario studies and to bring new elements for public debates on nuclear energy.

3) Radionuclides in the fuel cycle and the environment The radiochemistry group members have common skills in the area of actinide chemistry in a multidisciplinary context extending from interface analyses, corrosion studies, to electrochemistry biological environments, etc.. The number of publications and communications is good and a potential small reduction may follow from the reduction of the number of group members. The group continued to show an important capacity to obtain financing by public and private partners. This leads to the possibility to acquire an important number of postdocs and PhD students. Principal research activities of the group concern radionuclides (in principal the actinides) in the fuel cycle and in the environment, including room- temperature ionic liquids, and molten salts as well as nuclear fuel. The group combines computational chemistry with spectroscopic and other experimental techniques to investigate the structure, thermodynamics and interaction between actinides and either solid/liquid interfaces or organic molecules of environmental or biological (protein) concern.

One of the fields of interest of the group concerns the production of nuclear targets for nuclear-data measurements and nuclear-physics measurements in general. This concerns the use of room-temperature ionic liquids for preparation of metallic targets for the CACAO facility and the use of the group’s knowledge on nuclear-fuel fabrication to produce uranium-carbide targets. High-quality targets are prerequisite for the reduction of measurement uncertainties needed for the energy application. Primarily this concerns thin targets of precise thickness and of high isotopic and elemental purity. Ideally metallic targets should be produced free of light elements. Therefore, it is of key interest that the competence in the group be exploited in the interest of such measurements through the CACAO laboratory. Once operating successfully, such a laboratory will be an asset to IPNO and IN2P3 with sure customers from outside CNRS. Another important field of interest is investigation of the redox chemistry and the reprocessing of the molten-salt nuclear fast reactor. Redox control of the salt is necessary to limit the corrosion reactions. The knowledge of redox chemistry has helped the group as well to acquire a new NEEDS project of corrosion of aluminium in cement environments.

- Astrophysics and astrochemistry

This thematic line of research covers a broad range of topics ranging from high-energy cosmic-ray studies, determination of their energies and sources, to nucleosynthesis of elements in Big Bang and different stellar scenarios and to the origin of the interstellar molecules, in particular carbon clusters and hydrocarbons. The groups working in this field of research avail of detection systems from the small to the very large such as the Pierre Auger Observatory for cosmic-ray studies. They have also accelerators at their disposal such as ALTO and GANIL to study nuclear reactions for understanding nuclear astrophysics processes or molecular fragmentation processes in collisions in inverse kinematics to understand the abundance of interstellar molecules.

1)Pierre Auger Observatory The Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) covers 3000 km2 of the Argentinean Pampa with 1660 detectors measuring the particles on ground (SD array). It also hosts 4 fluorescence detectors (FD) observing the direct light from atmospheric showers. Its main outcome is the detection of tens of events above 5•1019 eV, energies at which the cosmic rays are not significantly deviated by the intergalactic magnetic fields. This result allowed the confirmation of the presence of a cut-off in the cosmic-ray energy spectrum, either due to the acceleration processes in the sources or the GZK effect (energy loss of higher energy cosmic rays through inelastic scattering with the cosmic microwave background).

The IPNO physicists have consolidated their presence in the collaboration through leading important tasks, from science to hardware, as well as taking responsibility for several technical duties thanks to the support of three engineers from the IPNO Instrumentation and Computing Division. They completed several technical tasks related to data (SD exposure), participated in on-going analysis and had a leading role in various topics like large-scale anisotropy searches at low energies (1018 - 1019 eV), and spectrum studies with combined SD and FD data. In all these aspects, the visibility of the group considering the number of permanent physicists is impressive. This visibility and the vitality of the group made it possible to attract guest scientists as well as PhD students shared with groups from abroad.

The challenge in ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray physics is to go beyond the present limited statistics. The IPNO group has shown recent interest in the possibility to use the shower GHz molecular bremsstrahlung emission which would raise the direct detection efficiency from 10% (fluorescence light) to 100%. Although experimental data are conflicting, recent simulations give hope that this process can indeed be used, but this needs to be confirmed. Meanwhile the group is conducting feasibility studies of new sensors and full physics simulations, participating in the research and development toward a next generation facility. First proposals are due in September 2013. The PAO funding is granted until end 2015.

2) Nuclear Astrophysics The IPNO nuclear astrophysics group is involved in several topics of research and has contributed significantly and visibly to answering fundamental questions regarding the origin of the elements in the Universe produced either in the Big Bang or during star evolution. Most of the results are based on experiments performed at ALTO and GANIL facilities.

The experimental study of nucleosynthesis has been concentrated in the past few years on the following topics:

-Classical novae and 26Al nucleosynthesis

-60Fe destruction and the 60Fe(n,γ)61Fe reaction

-Massive stars and the all too important 12C(α,γ)16O reaction

-Big-Bang nucleosynthesis and the 7Li cosmological problem

-Massive stars and 26Al nucleosynthesis γ-ray astronomy:

-Development of a Compton telescope prototype based on DSSSDs

The results obtained by the nuclear astrophysics group are among the important highlights of IPNO. The work is well focused on a few but very important problems in nuclear astrophysics in which the group is making significant impact. Thanks to that the IPNO achievements in nuclear astrophysics, corresponding to an important publication record (13 in the last 5 years), are well recognised in the highly competitive nuclear physics community.

The future research proposed by the group will follow the successful experimental programme in nuclear astrophysics with stable and radioactive beams related to hydrostatic and explosive burnings. The group has strong collaborations in France (CSNSM Orsay & GANIL), Europe (York & Huelva) and elsewhere (Algeria).

From the instrumentation point of view the group will develop an original set-up with the Split-Pole spectrometer at IPNO by coupling to DSSSDs (double-sided silicon strip detectors) and to a germanium array and will follow R&D in γ-ray astronomy. These developments should allow pursuing a highly promising research programme leading in the coming years to results with high impact in the field.

3) Astrochemistry and nano-particles The atomic and molecular (AMO) physics at IPNO comes well within the scope of astrochemistry, and concerns fragmentation of Cn molecular clusters and complex CnHn molecules that are of interest to understand and to predict the abundance of Cn and hydrocarbons in the interstellar medium. The original approach at IPNO is to make use of the inverse-kinematics process (i.e., accelerate molecules for a further collision with a gaseous target) and to detect all the fragments, selected according to their charge-over- mass ratio, with a dedicated Si detector (AGAT). This was made possible thanks to the know-how acquired at IPNO. Furthermore, this programme brings a lot of visibility to IPNO among the “collision” community. In particular, significant production of C anions has recently been observed, explaining the so-far unresolved discrepancy in the charge-transfer cross section when compared with the independent electron model. Works on CnHn fragmentation branching ratios lead to a more precise interpretation in the abundance of Cn, CnH and CnHn fragments induced by photodissociation and dissociative recombination (like recently observed for the Horse head Nebula), and the whole set of databases will be of importance to interpret observations in astrochemistry. The whole of these activities is already part of the “Plateau” scientific topics (e.g. the strong collaboration with ISMO), well organised at the national level via a GDR (Groupement De Recherche). This should even further strengthen the group’s international visibility through a foreseen collaboration with the Modern Institute of Physics in Lanzhou, China.

The activities on “nano-particles” have provided interesting results via interaction of high-energy clusters with solids/surfaces. The construction of the ANDROMEDE facility, which has been rewarded by an EquipEx in 2010, will offer a new generation of analysis systems of matter properties based on accelerated nano-particles. This facility is located in the Orsay Campus, and it offers research opportunities covering a very broad field from material science to surface physics, but also to topics related to astronomy and biology. Having emerged from original scientific themes developed at IPNO.

- Physics and technology of accelerators

1) Facilities The IPNO accelerator division is running a very impressive R&D programme on superconducting accelerator technologies, targets, beam diagnostics, RF sources and general accelerator related technologies. The programme is supporting an in-house accelerator facility. Moreover, IPNO has an active engagement in international accelerator projects and research programmes. The in-house Tandem-ALTO facility has been running now for several years. It has been used for nuclear physics and astro-physics, clusters and astro-chemical experiments, instrumentation development and other applications. Furthermore, very important work has been performed these last years in order to improve the reliability and the beam quality of the Tandem on one side, and to meet the safety requirements on the radioactive beam facility on the other side. The development of the various experimental devices is also very impressive. The laboratory should carry on this effort to maintain the facility at this level. It is important also to continue the development of the target-ion-source systems and the uranium-carbide (UCx) targets, which are under development for the SPIRAL2 project, ActILab project, and the ALTO facility itself for the production of new radioactive beams, and to commit the adequate human resources for these efforts. These types of developments really need a minimum group working full time on the activity, if one wants to reach good performances in the long-term range.

As far as the technical platform SUPRATech is concerned, it has been completed with full equipment which is run by a very efficient and competent team. This facility allows the laboratory to be involved in major projects for the development of superconducting cavities and cryo-modules of future high-power accelerators. It is essential for the future of the activity that this facility is always maintained at the highest technical level, with an experienced and excellent team to run it.

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 314 janvier 2013

2) Project and developments The IPNO laboratory is involved in several major accelerator projects, and has been organised for many years with this purpose. Regarding international involvement, the division is engaged with, e.g., SPIRAL2, MYRRHA, FAIR, ESS, EURISOL, EUCARD and TIARA. It has a leading role in several of these projects, e.g., work-package leader for Spoke SRF at ESS, work-package leader in TIARA as well as leading roles for SPIRAL2 and in the MAX project for MYRRHA. For the SPIRAL2 project, the laboratory has taken a major role with the responsibility for several work packages, among which the development, production and tests of the high-beta cryo-modules that are being tested with very high performances. The laboratory is involved in the collaborations on high-power proton linacs, and is in charge of the development of various superconducting cavities and cryo-modules in projects like MYRRHA, ESS, and SPL. The technical team is recognised at an international level for its competence, efficiency and technical prowess. It is essential that the laboratory goes on with this as a high priority, to maintain the activity at the highest level. Other activities include a resonant laser ion source, which is being operated for the in-house lab, cryogenic design work for test labs at the institute and SPIRAL2, testing of new superconducting materials and multi- layer films for the next generation of superconducting cavities, low-level RF development work, new uranium carbide target materials synthesised and tested, and development of thermo-acoustic devices.

The work at the IPNO accelerator division is in general of very high quality and can in many areas be rated as outstanding. The involvement in many of the major international projects and research programmes assures that the institute continues to keep the highest standards while the in-house activities assure a strong link to the IPNO researchers. IPNO has proven that a world-leading research programme in specific areas, design and construction of systems for the accelerators for major international projects combined with a small but strong in-house activity is a good combination for a successful accelerator division outside major international research facilities. Comparing the IPNO accelerator division to several similar set-ups at other national laboratories and universities one can conclude that it is one of the very best in this category.

- Detectors technology and instrumentation

The Instrumentation and Computing Division (ICD) supports the activities of the numerous experimental groups at IPN Orsay and provides a range of services to the whole lab. Its core competencies lie in three domains:

1) Detector technology

2) Readout electronics

3) Computing and data acquisition

ICD is involved in a large number of very diverse activities of different size and on different time scales, from short-term tasks (e.g., repairs of PCBs or modifications of existing detectors) to long-term international projects with lifecycles exceeding a decade (e.g., ALICE, PANDA). ICD staff is part of national and international collaborations (Europe and US).

The detector technology department has competencies in scintillators and photodetection, solid-state detectors and gaseous detectors. It collaborates closely with the readout electronics and computing and data-acquisition departments.

In the following we list and comment on a selection of the main projects, either completed in the considered period (2008-2012) or still on-going:

Vague E : campagne d’évaluation 2013 – 2014 315 janvier 2013

Central Neutron Detector (CND) of CLAS12 at JLAB. Starting around 2006, a prototype of this time-of-flight detector, based on scintillator bars with dual-sided PMT readout, has been built and tested with cosmic rays. The high magnetic field and restricted available space led to a special light-guide design, which allows mounting all PMTs on the same side. The challenging mechanics is under design. The prototype detector appears to fulfil the requirements with little margin and the reviewers are concerned about a possible degradation of the performance in a full scale system (due to, e.g., background, magnetic field).

-PANDA at GSI (started in 2004). A prototype e.m. calorimeter (60 PbWO4 crystals) was built, including mechanical and cooling studies, and successfully tested, leading to a comprehensive publication in NIM A.

-PMm2 – Large array of photomultipliers for underwater neutrino detection. The project, started in 2007, profited from specific ANR funding and is now completed. It resulted in an operational prototype of 16 PMTs with underwater front-end electronics and a trigger-less data acquisition, which was handed over to the Laguna collaboration. No further development is foreseen for the moment.

-PARIS-GANAS: This fairly generic R&D programme targets novel scintillators (like LaBr3, CeBr3 …), partly in phoswich configuration, for future applications in nuclear experiments. It would be desirable to have prospective activities, similar to PARIS-GANAS, obviously limited in size, also in the other detector domains, complementing the experiment-driven studies.

-The work in the field of solid-state detectors is centred on the FAZIA and GASPARD projects. IPNO is in charge of the FAZIA FE electronics, which treats the signals from the two silicon and CsI layers in a fully digital way. This leads to a number of challenges, including the thermal management of the dissipated power. Beam tests with fully functional units are scheduled for the two coming years. The work on the GASPARD project, for which the CST recommended in May 2012 the preparation of a comprehensive TDR, is still in a preparatory phase. Preliminary in-house tests at ALTO could demonstrate the challenging pulse-shape discrimination technique on segmented Si-detectors.

-The maintenance, testing and repair work related to the French-UK Ge Loan Pool and Gamma detector pool has been continued.

-The competencies in gaseous detectors have been developed further and applied in the ACTAR project, an active target TPC with 15 k channels, of which a 2 k channel demonstrator was realised. These led to technically very interesting solutions in terms of mechanics and connectivity. Also, classical MWPC detectors of medium and large sizes are being built for the SOFIA experiment (GSI).

-For the above projects, the electronics department developed numerous components, circuits and PCB cards and provided general electronics support.

-ICD has major responsibilities for the electronics and DAQ system of the ALICE experiment at CERN, in particular for the ALICE di-muon arm. Various development and maintenance work was performed, e.g. on the CROCUS crates, including development of new firmware. IPNO is also active in the software frameworks ALIroot, GEANT4 and Virtual Monte Carlo.

-The work on NARVAL, a distributed acquisition system was continued throughout the full period. It allows for very high-speed data-flow control and is now being employed by the experiments at ALTO, AGATA and also considered at GANIL. One should closely evaluate whether the effort invested over the years is balanced by the performance and flexibility NARVAL brings to the users, and whether NARVAL has the potential to become a broadly employed standard system in many labs.

The size of the ICD departments and the diversity of the projects makes it certainly very challenging to keep track with the latest developments in all concerned fields or even to play a leading role in some of them. The performed work and the numerous deliverables appear, however, very solid and of high technical quality.
