Details of the TNA support and details of the application

Conditions

To be eligible, the visitor has to be a registered HIL user (how to do this is described here) and the experiment must have the majority of the users working in a country other than France.

Access for user groups with a majority of users not working in a EU Member State or Horizon Europe associated country is limited to 20% of the total amount of units of access provided under the grant.

Procedure

After the approval, the spokesperson is informed (by e-mail) of the acceptation of his / her experiment. Then the spokesperson should download, fill and send the application form and the information form TA-application-data.xlsx for financial support to Marie-Laure Abavent (tna(at)ganil.fr). This form should mention the approved experiment and include the names, nationalities, affiliations and positions of the applicants as well as an estimation of the financial needs.

Groups proposing interdisciplinary physics experiments are encouraged to ask for financial support if the experiment is an application of Nuclear Physics methods, i.e. to be performed with accelerated beams. It is planned that up to 30% of the TNA GANIL budget, within the EURO-LABS project, will be spent on non-Nuclear Physics experiments.

After the experiment – Group leader action

Each Group Leader (spokesperson or co-spokesperson) of an experiment supported by the EU Programme is requested to:

  • Fill-in the experiment report and send it back to the following e-mail address: tna(at)ganil.fr. Please note that no travel reimbursement could take place before receiving this report.
  • Every publication resulting from the experiment supported by EURO-LABS should contain the following acknowledgement: “The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union’s HORIZON EUROPE Program under grant agreement n°101057511″
  • Keep the GANIL informed of all the publications referred to above by sending the references to Marie-Laure Abavent by e-mail (tna(at)ganil.fr).

After the experiment – Participant financial requests

Each participant of the experiment mentioned in the application form, will receive an e-mail to inform on the process to get the financial support. To obtain the reimbursement of travel costs, each participant must send all the original tickets with the reimbursement form, in an envelope to:
