How to propose an experiment

GANIL is a National User's Facility. It is available to a wide national and international scientific community.

Beams available at GANIL:

Nuclear Physics

- high-energy stable beams (from CSS1 and CSS2) available list here
- high-energy exotic beams (CLIM targets)
- low- and medium-energy stable beams (from CIME)
- low- and medium-energy exotic beams (from SPIRAL) available list here

Interdiscplinary Physics ⁽¹⁾

- medium-energy stable beams (SME)
- low-energy stable beams (IRRSUD)
- very-low-energy stable beams (LIMBE).

Nuclear Physics Proposals:

In order to perform any test or experiment with beam at GANIL, users must submit a written proposal.

Please note:

For any experiment or test campaigns with a particle beam at GANIL a written request MUST be submitted to the PAC which meets about every 6 months.
In very exceptional cases, written requests may be submitted directly to the GANIL Director for discretionary beam time.
For specific test runs, a written request should be submitted directly to the GANIL Director for discretionary time, at least 2 months before programming of the relevant period, i.e. 5-6 months before the beginning of the period. Such tests must be limited to very specific measurements, while any development of a whole programme of measurements must be evaluated by the PAC.
For urgent tests, a written request should be sent to the Director, at least 2 months before the requested beam time: however, there is no guarantee that the programme will be able to accommodate such tests at short notice.

Proposals must be made on the GANIL Proposal for Experiment form. A full description of the experiment must be associated and should not exceed 5 pages. These two documents should be combined as a single PDF file.

Your file should be called Name_PAC_GANIL_month_year.pdf where "Name" is the name of the spokesperson and should be sent to the beam coordinator at this e-mail address⁽²⁾: coordinateur at ganil.fr

To fill the proposal for experiment form, three file formats are available: .doc .docx .pdf

It is essential that you contact the physicist in charge of the apparatus you wish to use before submitting your proposal.

(1) For interdisciplinary physics please contact: ciril at ganil.fr

(2) If you are not able to send an electronic version, proposals may be faxed to The GANIL Beam Coordinator, at +33(0)2.31.45.45.86
