β¦ Synopsis
The present status of the radioactive ion beam facility SPIRAL, currently under construction, is given. SPIRAL is based on the very high intensity beams which will become available in the near future at GANIL (2H to 4oAr at 6kW and 96A MeV). The facility will produce radioactive ion beams using the ISOL (Isotopic Separator On-Line) method and a permanent magnet ECRIS (Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source) which will allow for the production of multiply charged radioactive ions. The beam will be accelerated by a K=265 compact cyclotron and delivered to the existing experimental areas of GANIL.

The first accelerated exotic beam of the SPIRAL (Production System of Radioactive Ion and Acceleration On-Line) facility at GANIL at Caen has been delivered for experiments in September 2001. After working for almost 5 years, 32 experiments were performed in the facility using exotic isotopes of hel
To pursue the investigation of a new territory of nuclei with extreme N /Z , called "terra incognita", several projects, all aiming at the increase by several orders of magnitude of RIB intensities are now under discussion worldwide. In Europe, two major new projects have been approved recently: FAI
Dual-Readout calorimetry is a promising new technique for high precision measurements of hadronic showers and jets. The DREAM Collaboration is exploiting the possibilities offered by this technique, a key aspect of which is the simultaneous measurement of the scintillation light and the Cerenkov lig
