Towards transnational funding of Nuclear Physics Research Infrastructures and associated equipments AGATA
ERA-NET for Research infrastructures Objectives
To contribute to the development of the European Research Area by improving coherence across Europe of such programmes/activities To help developing EU Programmes and Policy for research infrastructures
our needs!!!) (Very important in relation with future calls in Particular for FP8 aligned with
Eligible partners are only programme owners: National, regional, ministries, governments, Research councils, funding agencies who are all managing research programmes.
The NuPNET strategy:
Success through a stepwise approach 18 participants are Funding agencies and ministries from 14 EU countries 2008-2009 2009-2010 2010-2011 Information exchange and Census of resources for Nuclear Physics Funding Bodies (WP2) Agreement on an Action Plan for Infrastructures (Resource and financial Action plan of Agencies) (WP3) Implementation of pilot projects of the Action plan WP4

The 3 topics of the Call
The topics of the Common Call are designated:
•
(Topic 1)
R&D on new detector technologies for nuclear physics:
- Gamma and neutron detection technologies based on new scintillation materials and new photo-sensors (APDs, SiPMs … ) - Silicon and micropatterned gas tracking detectors (GEM, Micromegas): low and high energy applications - Large-area diamond detectors for beam monitoring or timing
These technologies are important for the nuclear research infrastructures selected in the ESFRI list: FAIR and SPIRAL2.
.
(Topic 2)
R&D on EURISOL technologies: accelerator components, target and ion sources
•
(Topic 3)
Targeted action on nuclear structure and reactions theory
