Stratégie d'établissement

Nuclear physics is concerned with understanding the properties of atomic nuclei and nuclear matter in heavy-ion collisions and compact stars. It is also essential for understanding the nuclear processes at work at the heart of energy-producing nuclear reactors. Together with CEA, CNRS runs GANIL, the largest nuclear physics research facility in France and one of the world's leading facilities. With the construction and gradual commissioning of the new SPIRAL2 heavy-ion accelerator and its experimental facilities, France is at the forefront of this research. The operation of this new infrastructure opens up new research opportunities in nuclear physics. The recent commissioning of the Neutrons for Science facility, in particular, opens up new possibilities for the study of neutron-induced nuclear processes and high-precision measurements of neutron-induced reaction cross sections. These first years of operation offer numerous opportunities for young scientists to develop original and visible lines of research.

Stratégie du laboratoire d'accueil

Research activities at the IPHC in nuclear physics cover a wide spectrum of topics, from fundamental nuclear physics and astrophysics to the production of nuclear data of major interest for understanding the physics of nuclear reactors. Fundamental nuclear physics plays an essential role in these developments, and makes an important contribution through the study of a number of neutron-induced nuclear processes. The IPHC is internationally recognized for its expertise in high-precision measurements of neutron-induced reaction cross sections. The candidate will develop his or her research activities in this field, within the Laboratory's Nuclear Data for Reactors (DNR) team.

Stratégie Internationale

In most cases, IPHC researchers work in international collaborations. In particular, as part of their nuclear data activities, the laboratory's researchers have been involved in European projects for some twenty years. They are currently involved in the European projects SANDA (Supplying Accurate Nuclear Data for energy) and ARIEL (Accelerator and Research reactor Infrastructures for Education and Learning). ARIEL, especially, facilitates researchers' access to European facilities, and organizes international summer schools to train nuclear data experts. The team's nuclear data production activities also involve regular exchanges with the IAEA. This international framework encourages the recruitment of foreign students and the setting up of collaborative projects with foreign establishments.

Résumé du projet scientifique

The physics of the atomic nucleus plays an essential role in the study of nuclear reactor operation. In particular, neutron-induced nuclear reactions provide the nuclear data needed to better understand and predict reactor operation, through high-precision measurements of their effective cross-sections. This is achieved through the experimental study of several types of neutron-induced processes, such as capture, fission and diffusion, in which the team has internationally recognized expertise. These measurements are carried out at a number of European facilities. Thanks to the recent commissioning of the SPIRAL2 Neutrons for Science facility at GANIL, much of the team's experimental program is now being carried out at GANIL. Certain cross-section measurements on highly radioactive isotopes require the development of instrumentation and analysis tools based on specific processing and simulation codes. Because of the team's involvement in measurement and analysis campaigns, as well as in the development of various detection instruments, the candidate should have a very good knowledge of fundamental nuclear physics and instrumentation.

Résumé du projet d'enseignement

Candidates must propose a teaching project (28 hours of lectures or 42 hours of practical or directed work) in physics. This teaching project will then be discussed and finalized with the University of Strasbourg, which will host the laureate.

Diffusion scientifique

The dissemination of the results will be done through world-class scientific productions: publications, patents, software... In addition, the results will be communicated to various targets such as scientific communities, media, decision makers, general public, schools, etc., with an adapted calendar. Specific tools may be developed such as websites, newsletters, meetings, international symposia, summer schools and conferences.

Science ouverte

The CNRS is developing a strong policy in favor of open science. Open science consists of making research results "as accessible as possible and closed as necessary". As such, the CNRS aims to make 100% of the texts of publications resulting from the work of its laboratories accessible , in particular through deposit in HAL. The data produced must also be made available and reusable, except for specific restrictions. In addition, the guiding principles of individual evaluation have been revised in accordance with the DORA declaration, to be more qualitative and to take into account all facets of the researcher's profession.

Science et société

The relationship between science and society is now recognized as a full dimension of scientific activity. The project will develop this dimension in synergy with all the partners. The resulting research work will contribute to informing public decision-making. Participatory science initiatives may be initiated with actors from the project’s socio-economic and cultural eco-system.

Indicateurs

The activity will be evaluated in particular on the basis of scientific production (publications, software, patents, etc.), on institutional and private partnerships formalized by contracts, on international presence, on the promotion of work to multidisciplinary scientific communities, on innovation and its transfer to society and on scientific dissemination to non-specialist audiences.
