12. NA61/SHINE is the second largest fixed target experiment at CERN.
NA61/SHINE (SHINE = SPS Heavy Ion and Neutrino Experiment) is a particle physics experiment at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
The experiment studies the hadronic final states produced in interactions of various beam particles (pions, protons and beryllium, argon, and xenon nuclei) with a variety of fixed nuclear targets at the SPS energies.
About 140 physicists from 14 countries and 28 institutions work in NA61/SHINE.
NA61/SHINE is the second largest fixed target experiment at CERN.

13. IPB at NA61 - SHINE Low-Background Laboratory for Nuclear Physics
Research within the LBLNP is related to and done in the various fields of nuclear physics, mainly nuclear spectroscopy, radioecology, cosmic ray physics, high energy physics, and physics of hot dense plasmas, as well.

14. IPB at NA61 - SHINE
The Low-Background Laboratory for Nuclear Physics, in cooperation with the Faculty of Physics, University of Belgrade, is involved in the CERN based experiment NA61/SHINE.
The Belgrade SHINE Team is responsible for
- operation and upgrades of Time Of Flight detector in NA6 detector
- software upgrades, mainly software for Time Of Flight detector
- analysis: Delta++, K0s, azimutal corellations.
- Building first computer cluster for NA61 outside CERN, and inclusion of NA61 collaboration into grid computing by upgrading the existing Belgrade cluster (CORSAIR).
Leading the mass processing of experimental NA61/SHINE data.

15. Why is it important to participate in this type of experiments?
Students and young professionals are able to grasp the whole experiment.
Young professional who will be a Nuclear Physics Professor one day should have very clear picture of nuclear processes. Through this “small” experiments he can learn a lot about:
Nuclear physics - nuclear structure
Electronics, detectors
Cryogenics
Data acquisition and analysis
It is important to work in international group.
In Serbia we don’t have similar experimental setup.

16. Why nuclear physics?
Nuclear physics finds increased applications within trans-disciplinary areas as diverse as Energy, Nuclear Waste Processing and Transmutation, Climate Change Containment, Life Sciences and Cancer Therapy, Environment and Space, Security and Monitoring, Materials Science, Cultural Heritage, Arts and Archaeology.
Key central questions and issues are:
How can Nuclear Physics contribute to the sustainability and acceptability of the generation of nuclear energy?
How can Nuclear Physics techniques improve medical diagnostics and contribute to cancer therapy?
How can radiation hazards in Space be monitored and predicted?
Can Nuclear Physics help understand and monitor climate change?
Can neutrinos be used as a probe for non-proliferation control?
Can Nuclear Physics help to visualize the dynamics of ion-beam processes when other methods fail?
How can non-destructive and in-depth analysis of elements in materials samples be improved?

17. Why nuclear physics?
Many small-scale facilities and specialized installations at large scale facilities are unique due to the particular equipment or application they provide. In order for Europe to secure a leadership role in nuclear applications, the support for these activities should be strengthened at research infrastructures by making sufficient beam time available.
To keep Europe at the cutting edge it is strongly recommended to closely interlink the existing complementary equipment and areas of specialization provided by many facilities (for instance through networks of IBA, and AMS or high-energy irradiation facilities).
Networking between fundamental physicists and end-users (reactor physicists, medical physicists, engineers, etc.) should be strengthened. Communication with medical doctors, climate scientists, environmental scientists, archaeologists, curators, and other potential beneficiaries of the nuclear techniques should be improved through non-technical publications, outreach activities, and joint meetings.

18. Why nuclear physics?
One of the central contributions of Nuclear Physics to society is the human capital trained in advanced techniques that is transferred to industry (in particular nuclear industry), medical centers, applied research organizations or governmental bodies linked to the different aspects of nuclear applications (as radioprotection and safety authorities). It is imperative to maintain this knowledge base to ensure that these organizations continue to have access to the necessary expertise.

19. THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT, THE FUTURE IS HIE-ISOLDE@CERN
