Nuclear physics

The gigantic JUNO detector, currently under construction in China with the participation of IN2P3, will soon be tapping neutrinos, the elusive and mysterious elementary particles

Ginés Martinez, director of the Subatech laboratory (CNRS/IN2P3, IMT Atlantique, Nantes University) outlines the basic principles and applications - current and future - of quantum physics. He also points out the questions that it leaves unanswered for the moment.

Energy, but also health: Traditionally very present in nuclear training and research with the Subatech joint research unit, IMT Atlantique is taking advantage of the renewed interest in the sector.

At the EDF headquarters in Paris, on Wednesday, September 7, the collaboration agreement between EDF-DPNT and CNRS-IN2P3 for the "SuperChooz" exploratory project was signed by Cedric Lewandowski, Director of the EDF Nuclear and Thermal Park, and Reynald Pain, Director of INP3, in the presence of SUBATECH Director Gines Martinez and Frederic Yermia, scientific leader of the Neutrino team.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Institut National de Physique Nucléaire et de Physique des Particules (IN2P3), SUBATECH organised a day-long event on 25 June, which brought together its supervisory bodies and staff to talk about memories and prospects for research in nuclear physics.

In December 2020, the SUBATECH research team, involved in the ALICE (LHC-CERN) collaboration, completed a major step forward - a once-in-a-decade type advance for this kind of project - by integrating the MFT (Muon Forward Tracker) detector into the experiment .

The SUBATECH laboratory (CNRS/IN2P3 - IMT Atlantique - University of Nantes) is a partner in the PREDIS and A-CINCH projects that are part of Euratom, the program dedicated to the European Union's nuclear research and training activities.

On 20 September, IMT Atlantique welcomed the first intake of students for the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in Nuclear Engineering SARENA in the presence of representatives of the consortium's partner universities: Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Spain), Lapp

The only one of its kind in Europe, the programme will open in September 2019.
