New common initiative between Directors of GANIL and GUEC:GANIL Award for best Ph.D. Thesis

Award Committee chaired by Andreas Goergen

GANIL Thesis AwardThe GANIL Thesis Award recognizes and rewards achievements of PhD students who earned

their doctoral degree based on GANIL experiments or a theoretical study closely related to research

at GANIL. The award is granted periodically and awarded during a ceremony at the Colloque

GANIL, where the winner will have the opportunity to present her or his work. The award is endowed

with 1000 Euro. Travel and accommodation at the Colloque GANIL will be covered for the award

winner.

Nominated theses will be judged on their content, originality, clarity of writing, and impact

within the GANIL community and the field of nuclear physics in general. Nominations will be

evaluated by a committee comprising representatives of the Scientific Council, the Programme

Advisory Committee, the GANIL User Executive Committee, and the GANIL management. PhD

theses that were defended between 2016 and 2018 are eligible for the 2019 Thesis Award, which

will be presented at the Colloque GANIL in Strasbourg in September 2019.

Any nomination should be supported by at least two members of the GANIL science

community. (The PhD supervisor can be one of the nominators.) Nominations should be sent to

guec@ganil.fr before June 30, 2019.

The 2019 Award was given to dr. Marco Siciliano

Other GUEC actions

• Organizing the GUEC session the XX! Colloque GANIL in Strasbourg, 9-23 September, 2019

• Starting to prepare the GANIL Users Group and GUEC web page

• Co-Organizing the GANIL User Meeting in Caen (September 2020)

A. Maj, IDEAAL WP207.01.2020

Deliverable: D2.4: Report on new organisation involving users (month 30) – DONE!

Milestones:MS4: Kick-off meeting of the General GANIL-SPIRAL2 Collaboration (month 12) – DONE!MS5: Database on research groups and equipments of GANIL-SPIRAL2 (month 18) – DONE!

Conclusions:The task is on schedule – all declared deliverables and milestones were finished.Work on GUEC web page ongoing But problems with spending allocated budget

Spending money (Colloque GANIL, GRIT meeting, N=Z meeting, 2 x PARIS meetings)Salary: Allocated - 80 kEuro, Spent – ca. 60 kEuro, Left - 20 kEuro )Other: Allocated - 146 kEuro, Spent – ca. 60 kEuro, Left – 86 kEuro)Possible solutions for further spending: • Hiring a sofware engineer for the GUEC Webpage or a physicist for GANIL projects?• Large GANIL Users collaboration meeting (mid 2020)?• IDEAAL Meetings? (e.g. Krakow 2020?)• Other detector collaboration meetings• GCM Caen September 2020
