
Initiating Group of prominent European
nuclear physicists
 Establish a committee to promote
collaboration between research groups
and institutes and formulate policy for
Nuclear Physics in Europe

NuPECC : established in 1988-1989

Became an Associated Committee of ESF

Now an Expert Committee of ESF

The mission of NuPECC is:
To strengthen European collaboration in
nuclear science and to promote nuclear physics
and its trans-disciplinary use and application
in collaborative ventures between research
groups within Europe and particularly those
from countries linked to ESF.
NuPECC is supported by its Subscribing
Institutions, Member Organisations of ESF
involved in nuclear science research.

In pursuing its objective NuPECC:
• defines a network of complementary facilities
within Europe and encourage optimisation of
their usage;
• provides a forum for the discussion of the
provision of future facilities and
instrumentation; and
• provides advice and make recommendations to
the ESF and to other bodies on the development,
organisation, and support of European nuclear
research and of particular projects.

NuPECC has from the outset strived to
establish a network of complementary
facilities within Europe. It published the
Handbook
“International Access to Nuclear
Physics Facilities in Europe”
already in 5th edition (2004).

NuPECC provided a forum to discuss developing
fields, projects and programmes in Nuclear
Physics. Publications
 Reports from working groups
 Nuclear Physics News, a quarterly magazine for
the community.
 Long-Range Plans (LRPs) [Forward Looks].
1st LRP in November 1991: “Nuclear Physics in Europe:
Opportunities and Perspectives”
2nd LRP in December 1997: “Nuclear Physics in Europe:
Highlights and Opportunities”
(see http://www.nupecc.org/publications/)

In April 2004 NuPECC
published it 3rd LRP
Based on group reports
representing all active fields
of nuclear physics
(bottom-up approach)
Preceded by
Town Meeting at GSI,
30 January-1 February 2003
to present the reports,
discuss conclusions and
formulate recommendations.
Start procedure in 2008

LRP2004 addressed six subfields in Nuclear
Physics and considered all construction and
upgrade projects of facilities.
NuPECC  General recommendations
 Specific recommendations with
priorities  Roadmap
Strong interaction with ESFRI (presentations
of NuPECC roadmap at meetings)

1. NuPECC recommends the full exploitation of the existing and competitive
lepton, proton, stable-isotope and radioactive-ion beam facilities and instrumentation

2. NuPECC strongly recommends the timely completion
of the ALICE detector to allow early and full
exploitation at the start of LHC.
3. NuPECC recommends that efforts should be
undertaken to strengthen local theory groups in order
to guarantee the theory development needed to
address the challenges that exist or may arise from
new experimental observations; important role for
ECT*.
4. NuPECC recommends that efforts to increase literacy
in nuclear science among the general public should be
intensified.
27 April 2007; PESC, Copenhagen, Denmark 11

NuPECC recommends as the highest priority for a new construction project the building of the
international “Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR)” at GSI, Darmstadt

After GSI, NuPECC recommends the highest priority for the
construction of EURISOL (EURopean Isotope Separation On-Line)
NuPECC recommends joining efforts with other interested communities to do the RTD and
design work necessary to realise the high-power p/d driver in the near future

NuPECC submission and presentation of Roadmap
to ESFRI was crucial and heavily influenced the
process.
 FAIR: Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research
 SPIRAL 2: Système de Production d’Ions Radioactifs
Accélérés en Ligne 2
Both are on ESFRI Roadmap.
 EURISOL: hope to get on next ESFRI list
NuPECC is internationally active. It is invited:
 to be on OECD Global Science Forum, and
 IUPAP nuclear physics working groups.
 Exchange/contacts with NSAC (Future JSPS?)
27 April 2007; PESC, Copenhagen, Denmark 16

NuPECC defined a network of Large-Scale Facilities
(LSF) /Research Infrastructures (RI) and coordinated
and endorsed the applications of the nuclear physics
community within the 4th, 5th and 6th Framework
Programmes. The networks supported by EC:
* FINA (Frontiers In Nuclear and Astrophysics)
* FINUPHY (Frontiers In NUclear PHYsics)
* I3HP (I3 Hadron Physics)
* EURONS (I3 EUROpean Nuclear Structure)
* Design studies: EURISOL & FAIR
NuPECC is coordinating community plans for submissions to FP7.
NuPECC is presently supporting submission of application of
NuPNET (ERA-NET for Nuclear Physics); define roles!

The Goals of ECT*
a) to arrange in-depth research on topical problems at the
forefront of contemporary developments in theoretical
nuclear physics,
b) to foster interdisciplinary contacts between nuclear physics
and neighbouring fields such as particle physics, astrophysics,
condensed matter physics and the quantal physics of small
systems,
c) to encourage talented young physicists by arranging for them
to participate in the activities of the ECT*, by organising
training programmes and establishing networks of active
young researchers,
d) to strengthen the interaction between theoretical and
experimental studies.
27 April 2007; PESC, Copenhagen, Denmark 21

Scientific activities at ECT*
- International workshops and collaboration
meetings (19 weeks in 2006)
- Doctoral training programmes (4)
- Visiting scientists (about 20 months)
- Postoctoral programme (about a dozen
postdocs
- Local research (ECT*, Trento Univ., BEC)
- Teraflop cluster (BEN); fully operational &
open to external users

Sources of funding
Major sponsors:
- the Foundation Bruno Kessler (PAT, local)
- France, Germany and Italy (MoU, 300 K€ yearly)
Secondary sponsors:
In 2006, total contribution received from countries other
