Condensed Matter Research with Nuclear Probes and Ion Beams

The committees which represent the users in  ErUM (Exploration of the Universe and Matter) have published recommendataions on digital transformation in fundamental research on universe and matter. The paper is based on workshop involving the users and the intensive coordination of the committees research with neutrons (KFN), ions and nuclear probes (KFSI), synchrotron radiation (KFS), astroparticle Physics (KAT), particle physics (KET), accelerator physics (KfB), hadron and nuclear physics (KHuK) an the Council of German Observatories (RDS). It is part of the preparations for the new action plan ErUM data of the BMBF which aims at funding digital transformation in the research area. It is all about data management, standards, storage, accessibility of data and the use of artificial intelligience and other chances of digitalisation.[more]

14 partners from public research and 4 SMEs are joining forces in the RADIATE EU-project exchanging experience and best practice examples in order to structure the European Research Area of ion technology application. Besides offering trans national access to 11 european ion beam centres (applications are accepted any time), RADIATE aims to attract new users from a variety of research fields, who are not yet acquainted with ion beam techniques in their research, and introduce them to ion beam technology and its applicability to their field of research. New users will be given extensive support and training. The first deadline is on June 30, 2019. [more]
