ENSAR = Integrating Activity (IA) of European Nuclear Scientists
 Targeted Call
A project under this topic should aim at integrating the key research
infrastructures in Europe for studying the properties of exotic nuclei, and turning
advances in nuclear physics experimentation into new applications.
Major subfields of Nuclear Physics:
• Nuclear Structure
• Nuclear Astrophysics
• Applications of Nuclear Science.
Purpose:
•Networking Activities
•Transnational Access
•Joint Research Activities
 Ensure qualitative and quantitative improvement of the
access to the seven infrastructures, and advanced

First Facility Coordinating Group (FCG)Meeting held
recently on 27 September in Belgodère, Corsica. Report
follows.
Third ENSAR PCC meeting is approved to become a PCC
Executive Committee meeting. It will be a phone conference
to be held on 11 October 2011. Milestones and deliverables

ENSAR Research Infrastructures (ENRI):
GANIL, GSI, LNL/LNS, JYFL, KVI, ISOLDE-CERN and
IPNO-ALTO agree to make efforts to maintain the collaboration
within research fields of common interest both fundamental and
applied and to submit an application for Integrating Activity.
• Accelerator facilities
Offer a broad and high-quality palette of stable and exotic ion
beams and unique equipment.
•
Experiments in nuclear (astro)physics
Nuclear structure of very exotic nuclei.
Nuclear astrophysics with exotic and stable beams
•
Nuclear theory
Collaborations between theorists and experimentalists of ENRI
laboratories already exist, but will be strengthened through
agreement.

•
Expensive, technically advanced experimental equipment
technically advanced and expensive, but mobile, equipment that
could be used at the different laboratories.
•
Coordination
A facility coordination group (FCG) has been set up through
ENSAR, consisting of directors, chairmen of the local
Programme Advisory Committees (PAC’s) and coordinator of
ENSAR.
Reviews working procedures of various PAC’s and participates in
the definition and improvement of the criteria for access.
Makes recommendations on common policies.
Further aspects of the collaboration:
Exchange of technical expertise especially in accelerator
technology areas, in radiobiology, hadron therapy and other
applications. Collaboration in education and training.
NuPECC Meeting, 7-8 October 2011; Budapest, Hungary

Some goals of the FCG collaborative work:
• Harmonization of the access procedures to the 7 ENSAR
infrastructures
• Harmonization of the support offered to users by the infrastructures
• Recommendations on common policies
Technical collaborations are also emphasized in other ENSAR WP’s, as ECOS
and EGAN.
In this first meeting, functioning of PACs (and User Selection Panels) of the 7
infrastructure was presented.
• How to deal with new proposals (LoIs)?
Referees - rankings – ENSAR support, etc.
• How to deal with accepted proposals?
Scheduling of beam time.
• What is the policy with respect to backlogs?
• What to do regarding shutdown periods at major infrastructures?
ISOLDE: November 2012 - March 2014
GANIL: August 2012 - March 2013
GSI: 6 months of beam time in 2013-2014
NuPECC Meeting, 7-8 October 2011; Budapest, Hungary
15
How to harmonize the procedures in Europe?
• Main difference between the RI’s: submission, voting
procedures (traditions)
• Common basis: scientific excellence. More criteria exist, as
the ability to perform the experiment.
• ALTO proposes a template for a good proposal: good practice
to be shared?
• The personal presentation could also be performed via video
or by the local contact person.

Taking these recommendations into account and after consultation
with the user community, the ENSAR Scientific Advisory
Committee decided on 23 April to enforce the following cuts:
 TNAs: a 12% cut should be realised totally at the cost of, i.e.
reduction of, unit cost leaving the minimum number of hours of
beam time and the travel and subsistence for users the same.
 The total budget for AGATA within the three concerned TNAs
should be cut by 20%. ( EC request 3.97 M€)
 JRAs: were proportionally cut by 27%. It was left to the JRA
work-package leaders to realise this cut in the way they find best
for their community. However, it was strongly advised to cut
tasks completely, if feasible. ( EC request 2.93 M€)
 The NAs were cut by 30% (except FISCO which has to stay at
7% of the total budget thus applying a 20% cut). Here also, it
was strongly advised to cut tasks completely, if feasible.
( EC request 1.10 M€)
