NuPECC Strategy Meeting, 16 January 2016; Darmstadt, Germany 1 European Nuclear Science and Applications Research 2 (ENSAR2) Muhsin N. Harakeh Coordinator ENSAR2 on behalf of the ENSAR2 management group NuPECC Strategy Meeting 16 January 2016 Darmstadt, Germany NuPECC Strategy Meeting, 16 January 2016; Darmstadt, Germany 2 ENSAR2 is the integrating activity (IA) for European nuclear scientists who are performing research in three of the major subfields defined by NuPECC: Nuclear Structure and Dynamics, Nuclear Astrophysics and Nuclear Physics Tools and Applications. Its core aim is to provide access to nine of the complementary world-class large-scale facilities: GANIL (F), GSI (D), LNL-LNS (I), JYFL (FI), KVI-CART (NL), CERN- ISOLDE (CH), ALTO (F), IFIN-HH/ELI-NP (RO) and NLC (PL). These facilities provide stable and radioactive ion beams of excellent qualities ranging in energies from tens of keV/u to a few GeV/u and intense photon beams up to 20 MeV energy. The stable-ion beams range from protons to uranium. (Faial Azaiez) Radioactive ion beams are produced using the two complementary methods of in- flight fragmentation (IFF) and isotope separation on-line (ISOL), so that several hundred isotopes are available for the users. (Marek Lewitowicz) The high-intensity, high-energy photon beams are produced by laser back- scattering from high-energy electron beams. (Ioan Ursu) Small-scale facilities (Sotiris Harissopulos) In addition, the infrastructure ECT* (I) will provide a unique place for meetings, seminars and workshops to the community.
