Aim & Tasks

The aim of NuPECC is to promote collaborative ventures between nuclear physicists within Europe and particularly between those from countries linked to the ESF.

The tasks of this ESF Expert Committee are to:

• strengthen European collaboration in nuclear physics;
• define a network of complementary facilities within Europe and encourage optimisation of their usage;
• provide a forum for the discussion of the provision of future facilities and instrumentation;
• issue recommendations on the development, organisation, and support of European nuclear physics, and of particular projects.

Publications

NuPECC Long Range Plan 2004: Perspectives for Nuclear Physics Research in Europe in the Coming Decade and Beyond (PDF 6.7 MB). For a hardcopy send an Email to Dr. Gabriele-Elisabeth Körner.

In December 1998 the fourth edition of the NuPECC Handbook was published. It includes a map and descriptions of nuclear physics facilities in Europe. This edition is an updated version of the one published in 1995. It contains an extensive section on nuclear physics facilities in Europe which not only gives details of accelerators and major instrumentation but also information on how foreign users may gain access as well as statistical data on the users of these facilities.

NuPECC published Nuclear Physics in Europe: Highlights and Opportunities in December 1997. This report follows on from Nuclear Physics in Europe: Opportunities & Perspectives (November 1991). It contains a review of the field of nuclear physics in Europe, recommendations for future developments, and a chapter which describes the present and future possibilities of the corresponding research facilities in Europe. This is the first attempt to define a network of facilities within Europe that include local and national facilities as well as European laboratories which are complementary and guarantee international access.

Through its quarterly magazine, Nuclear Physics News International, NuPECC provides an important forum for discussing nuclear physics.

For more information on any of the above publications send an Email to Dr. Gabriele-Elisabeth Körner.
