3. NuPECC: Associated Committee of the European Science Foundation • Strengthen European Collaboration in nuclear science • Promotion of nuclear physics and its trans-disciplinary use • Support collaborative ventures between research groups in Europe Fields relevant to NuPECC covered in CH (about 60 PhD physicists): • QCD: ChPT (BE), hadron spectroscopy (ZH, BS) • Nuclear astrophysics (BS), dark matter (ETHZ, ZH) • Fundamental interactions: n oscillations, mainly low energy (NE, GE, BE), 2b decay (NE) • rare decays (PSI), conservation laws, cold neutrons (PSI) • applications of nuclear science (e.g. nuclear medicine, atomic mass spectroscopy…) NuPECC is driven by nuclear structure problems and hadron physics issues Interest in neutrinos? ---> ApPECC?

4. NuPECC makes recommendations to ESF and is quite influencial in European scientific policies See NuPECC Roadmap for Construction of Nuclear Physics Research Infrastructures in Europe (2005) • Recommended: • FAIR facility in Darmstadt, Facility for antiproton and Ion Research • 30 GeV p, up to 15 GeV/c antiprotons CH (BS) • SPIRAL2, Système de Production d’Ions Radioactifs Accélérés en Ligne 2 • at GANIL, Caen • EURISOL, a high-power (MW), high-intensity linear accelerator • facility for the production of radioactive beams, not mature yet

5. Meetings:Groningen 18/19 November • Athens 17/18 March • Krakow 9/10 June • Reports: • Education and research in respective countries • Reports on ECT* - Trento (participation from e.g. CH?) • Status of FAIR Gmbh (mature): • - 1.2 B€ construction cost, 2007 - 2017 (3 stages) • - 120 M€/ yr operation costs • - 65% (Govt), 10% (Hessen), approved, 25% sought • from elsewhere • - land was acquired • report on EURISOL • PANS (Public awareness of nuclear science) • EPN (European Physics News) • FP6 programs, in particular I3HP (Hadron spectroscopy) • and EURONS (nuclear structure)

6. report on ECFA activities • NSAC report (admin: 367 M$ -> 450 M$ for NP , 2007) • High priorities:Nuclear astrophysics • QCD studies (JLAB) • 2 decay, neutrinos (solar and reactor) • n EDM • NuPECC Priorities in 2006 / 07: • Survey of resources in NP (thanks to those who have returned the form) • Preparation of 2008 long range plan in NP • Coordination of small facilities in S and SE Europe • Coherent coordination of FP7: (submission 2007, prefinancing 2008) • continuation of I3HP (C. Guaraldo) • and EURONS (A. Muller)
