CIRIL: Interdisciplinary Research at GANIL

Status of the Construction of the Spiral2 Accelerator at Ganil

The Driver Accelerator for the SPIRAL2 Radioactive Ion Beam facility at GANIL (Caen, France) is in the construction phase. Following the initial phase of prototyping development, the series production of major components was recently launched. Important decisions have also been recently taken concerning buildings, RIB operational aspects and related safety requirements.

Community psychology at the crossroads: prospects for interdisciplinary research.

Effective engagement in interdisciplinary work is critical if community psychology is to achieve its promise as a field of ecological inquiry and social action. The purpose of this paper and special issue is to help make the benefits of interdisciplinary community research clearer and to identify and begin to address its challenges. Although some areas of psychology (e.g., biological, cognitive...

Progress of resonant ionization laser ion source development at GANIL.

SPIRAL2 (Système de Production d'Ions Radioactifs Accélérés en Ligne) is a research facility under construction at GANIL (Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds) for the production of radioactive ion beams by isotope separation on-line methods and low-energy in-flight techniques. A resonant ionization laser ion source will be one of the main techniques to produce the radioactive ion beams. G...

The Interdisciplinary Research Process

This book provides case studies of the performance of interdisciplinary research. It is hoped that these case studies will prove instructive both to students and other scholars as they perform interdisciplinary research. This introductory chapter does not provide a detailed overview of these case studies: Brief descriptions of each chapter are provided in the Preface, and a discussion of lesson...
