This new edition of the International Workshop on Multi-facets of EoS and Clustering IWM-EC will take place in Caen, France in November 23-26th, 2021. The workshop is supported by the …

Les 5 unités de détection de KM3NeT à bord du navire de déploiement

Six operational ARCA detection units in the infrastructure of the Italian KM3NeT site off Sicily

During a week-long at-sea campaign from April 8 to 14, 2021, the underwater infrastructure of the Italian KM3NeT site off Sicily was successfully implemented. In addition, five new KM3NeT / ARCA sensor units were connected and have since been operational. Located in the Mediterranean Sea at a depth of 3500 m, about 80 km off …

Les fragments issus de la fission acquièrent un mouvement de rotation sur eux même, le spin tandisque le noyau parent n'en avait pas. / Design © Birdeesign / Luc Petizon

New insights into the mechanism of nuclear fission

The international nu-Ball collaboration, working on the ALTO installation of the IJCLab laboratory, has brought new results shedding light on the way in which the fission fragments of an atomic nucleus spontaneously acquire a rotational motion on themselves: the angular momentum. This study, in which 6 laboratories of IN2P3 are involved, is published today in …

Schéma du spectromètre de masse FRACAS permettant la mesure des sections efficaces de fragmentation des particules du faisceau.

Cross section measurements for hadrontherapy: Development of a mass spectrometer with wide acceptance (Edgar Barlerin / Thesis 2021)

Thesis defense : Edgar Barlerin The thesis work presented concerns the development of a mass spectrometer with a large acceptance, FRACAS, in the framework of the study of the fragmentation of 12C ions on targets of interest for hadrontherapy. The development of this device is motivated by the need to measure the double differential effective …
