Specialised platforms for cutting-edge research

07 February 2020

As part of its policies to pool and identify resources nationally, IN2P3 has labelled 'research platforms' in its laboratories, particularly particle accelerators and computing centres. These platforms offer high-level resources (equipment and human resources) for scientists working on cutting-edge research. They are also open to outside teams and thus enable interdisciplinary research to be carried out in the fields of health, energy, the environment, materials and so forth.

Platform	Laboratory	City/Town	Operational manager	Spéciality
AIFIRA	LP2IB	Bordeaux	Stéphanie Sorieul	Production of light ion beams (H⁺, D⁺, He⁺) for the chemical analysis, characterisation and irradiation of materials at different scales ranging from millimetres to a hundred nanometres.
ALTO	IJCLab	Orsay	Abdelhakim Said	Production of stable ion beams from proton to aggregates and radioactive ion beams for nuclear physics, astrophysics and multidisciplinary studies.
ANDROMEDE	IJCLab	Orsay	Jean Lesrel	Production of a very wide range of ion beams in terms of mass ranging from protons to gold nanoparticles. These are used to prepare and analyse nano-structured surfaces, modify materials and study biological and astrophysical phenomena.
ARRONAX		Nantes	Julien Orsonneau	A multi-particle cyclotron which can provide protons and α-particles for the production of radionuclides for medical imaging and radiotherapy as well as medical, chemical and physical research.
C4PI	IPHC	Strasbourg	Jérôme Baudot	Centre de Compétences de Capteurs CMOS à Pixels Intégrés.
CYRCE	IPHC	Strasbourg	Michel Pellicioli	Production of radioisotopes for nuclear imaging (¹⁸F, ⁶⁴Cu, ⁸⁹Zr) and labelled molecules for medical diagnosis, monitoring or treatment.
FACe	APC	Paris	Cécile Cavet	François Arago Centre: data computing and storage, access to CC-IN2P3, analysis software, provision of offices.
GENESIS	LPSC	Grenoble	Benjamin Cheymol	Production of 3.1-MeV and 15.2-MeV neutrons for physics or irradiation services.
MUST	LAPP	Annecy	Frédérique Chollet Le Flour	Multidisciplinary computing and data storage centre.
SCALP	IJCLab	Orsay	Cyril Bachelet	Irradiation/implantation of 35 different chemical elements with in-situ analysis of modifications brought about by the use of many techniques.
SCIGNE	IPHC	Strasbourg	Jérôme Pansanel	Scientific data computing and storage services.
SUPRATECH	IJCLab	Orsay	Richard Martret	R&D on superconducting accelerating cavities for future high-energy, high-power particle accelerators.
Virtual Data V	IJCLab	Orsay	Guillaume Philippon	Data storage, grid computing, simulation and massive calculation centres.
