GENERAL INFORMATION

The EURO-LABS project brings together, for the first time, the three research communities of nuclear physics, accelerator and detector technologies for high energy physics, in a pioneering super-community of sub-atomic scientists.

It provides effective access to a network of 33 Research Infrastructures (RIs) to conduct curiosity-based research, addressing fundamental questions and technological challenges and advancing projects with broad societal impact, fostering knowledge sharing between scientific fields and enhancing Europe’s potential for successfully facing future challenges.

It allows a synergic implementation of best practices for data management and activities relating to targeted service improvements at these RIs. Joint training activities are foreseen to develop the skills of the next generation researchers to optimally use the RIs services for scientific and technological discoveries.

INCT TRANSNATIONAL ACCESS (TA) INFORMATION

With the EURO-LABS project WP 3 “Access for Accelerators” Task 3.4 “Application” INCT offers access to its INCT RAPID Centre for Radiation Research and Technology infrastructure:

• Linear electron beam accelerator LAE 10 with nanosecond pulse radiolysis UV/VIS detection set-up. Pulse radiolysis is an invaluable tool for studying the kinetics and spectra of transient chemical species in chemistry and biochemistry.
• ELEKTRONIKA 10-15 linear electron beam accelerator (Toriy, Russia) which emits beam of electron of energy 10 MeV, beam power up to 15 kW. The processing parameters with the electron beam of energy 10 MeV allows to irradiation bulk materials having high density, with the dose ranging from 0,5 to 40 kGy in one pass or as accumulated dose ranging hundreds of kGy. The installation is used for radiation sterilization and microbial decontamination of solids and liquids, for modification and degradation of polymeric materials.
• A pilot plant facility equipped in ILU 6 accelerator. The accelerator can emit a beam of electrons of energy ranging from 0,15 to 2 MeV, beam power up to 20 kW. The experimental works and demonstration, which can be performed with the use of ILU-6 accelerator and additional systems include irradiation of gas, liquid and solid type of products. The area of research supported by ILU 6 includes environmental applications to eliminate chemical or microbial contaminants from different media.
• Additional infrastructure to support experiments: gamma cells, infrastructure of the Laboratory for Measurements of Technological Doses (ISO Accredited), electron spin resonance spectroscopy, apparatus for material characterization – DSC, TGA, GC, DRS, gas chromatography (GC), mechanical and rheological tests, dynamic contact angle measurements.
