Nuclear physics research at USC  Experimental Group of Nuclei and Particle (GENP) - 5 senior researchers, 1 postdoc, 6 PhD students and 2 technicians  Research projects: - Nuclear structure with exotic beams - Nuclear reactions (ADS reactions)  International collaborarions: - GSI, CERN(n_TOF), GANIL

Basic Nuclear Data for ADS at USC  Spallation experiments at GSI (J. Benlliure): Hindas FP-V  Fission experiments at CERN n_TOF (I. Durán): n_TOF FP-V GSI

USC in EUROTRANS-nudatra (subtask 5.4.1)  Objective - Determine the production of volatile elements in high-energy fission reactions produced in the spallation target - Address the remaining discrepancies on total fission cross sections in the MeV energy range to fully understand this reaction mechanism (dynamics of fission at high excitation energy)  Methodology - Measure total fission cross sections and Z distributions of fission residues in reactions induced by 181 Ta, 208 Pb ( 238 U) at energies between 200 and 1000 A MeV on hydrogen

Subatomic physics research at USC  Particle physics department and Institute for High-energy physics - 32 researchers - 20 PhD students  Research projects: - High-energy physics: CERN - Astro-particle physics: Auger observatory - Nuclear physics
