18. SPES in the European Context

19. Recommendations Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) Facilities The continued strongest support for the full completion and utilization of the international RIB facilities, NuSTAR@FAIR and SPIRAL2, in coherence with the ESFRI recommendations (2005, updated in 2008) which had prioritized their implementation. The strongest support for the full completion and utilization of HIE-ISOLDE, recently approved (2009) by CERN, and SPES, funded by INFN. These advanced ISOL facilities, together with SPIRAL2, will bridge the technological gap between present day facilities and EURISOL, the next generation ISOL facility for Europe. The realization of EURISOL. This long-term goal is the highest priority of our community for a future major facility that offers unique physics opportunities. Accession to the ESFRI list, based on the extensive Design Study for EURISOL carried out during the last decade, should be promoted in the near future NUPECC Long Range Plan 2010 SPIRAL2, HIE-ISOLDE and SPES form a network of advanced radioactive beam facilities that are paving the way for the ultimate European ISOL facility EURISOL.

20. Sinergies and Complementarities between the II generation RIB facilities ● Different primary beams, Production methods and Beam handling developments of a variety of new and complementary techniques which will be all essential for EURISOL ● Different capabilities in providing RIBs, with limited duty cycle Complementarity in satisfyng the future beam time requests (Importance of an european coord.)

22. SPES and the Italian Nuclear Physics Community In tha last decade the italian nuclear physics community has been deeply involved in activities related to RIB’s: (Besides work directly devoted to SPES) ● Light RIB production EXCYT, FRIBS (LNS), EXOTIC (LNL) ● Experiments with RIB’S National Laboratories, GSI, SPIRAL, ISOLDE ● Instrumentation Available (LNL, LNS) and development of new generation detectors, to be used with RIB’s 150 italian researchers (110 FTE) involved SPES will be the landingplace of these activities

23. EVALUATIONS ● SPES is well integrated in the european context and plays an important role for the international and the italian nuclear physics community. ● The italian nuclear physics community has been and is very active in the field of RIBs, either on the physics, or on the instrumentation. This can consitute a solid preparatory phase for SPES. ● There are the conditions for the project to be completed within 2014-2015
