2. Recommendations and Roadmap EURISOL in future updates of the ESFRI list, based on the successful EURISOL Design Study in FP6. • The Technical Design Study for intense radioactive ion beams at ISOL@MYRRHA. • The Technical Design Study for a polarised protonantiproton, PAX, and an electron-nucleon/ion collider, ENC, at FAIR. • The Technical Design Study for a high-energy electron-proton/ion collider, LHeC, at CERN. • The inclusion of Nuclear Physics programmes at the multi-purpose facilities ELI and ESS. 2.2 Facilities Roadmap We present below the roadmap for building new largescale Nuclear Physics research infrastructures in Europe. The time span ranges until the middle of the next decade. Facilities whose first phases have already been approved are coloured in blue, future upgrades thereof in dark blue. The ISOL facilities SPIRAL 2, HIE-ISOLDE and SPES are designated to lead to EURISOL. PAX and the ENC at FAIR, EURISOL and the LHeC at CERN are still in the design or R&D phase. They are coloured in purple.

3. Research Infrastructures and Networking In this chapter, we present the European landscape of current Nuclear Physics facilities, plans for building new large-scale research infrastructures (RIs) or performing major upgrades of existing ones, and the collaboration in the field at European and global level. 3.1 Existing Research Infrastructures and Upgrades The current Nuclear Physics research infrastructures in Europe may be grouped into theoretical and computing, lepton and hadron beam facilities. They form a network of closely collaborating laboratories that enjoy the strong support of the European Union via their Framework Programme (FP) 7. Access to these research infrastructures is generally open to researchers whose proposals have passed the scrutiny of programme advisory committees. In presenting the research infrastructures below, we follow a north to south principle of arrangement. 3.1.1 Theory and Computing Both ECT* in Trento and the Jülich Supercomputer Centre have been Research Infrastructures in the previous FP6’s Integrating Infrastructure Initiatives (I3) EURONS and HadronPhysics. ECT* continues to be supported in FP7’s Integrating Activity HadronPhysics2. ECT*, Trento, Italy ECT* at Trento in Italy. The European Centre for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT*) is an institutional member of NuPECC and operates in the context of European Universities and Research Laboratories. With nearly 700 visitors from about 40 countries spending from one week up to several months at the Centre, ECT* has achieved high visibility and fulfills an important coordinating function in the European and international scientific community by: • Performing in-depth research on topical problems at the forefront of contemporary developments in Nuclear Physics (Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Reactions of Nuclei far off the Line of Stability, Hadrons and QCD, Matter under Extreme Conditions), and related fields (Particle Physics, Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics, Condensed-Matter Physics, Ultracold Gases, BEC and Quantum Physics of Small Systems). • Holding up to 20 Workshops and Collaboration Meetings per year on the topical problems listed and strengthening thereby the interchange between theoretical and experimental physicists, an absolute prerequisite for the advancement in the various areas of research. • Encouraging and supporting talented young physicists to attend yearly held Doctoral Training Programmes and arranging for them to participate in ECT* research projects. • Fostering intensive interdisciplinary contacts between Nuclear Physics and neighbouring fields. Furthermore, presently and in the years ahead, ECT* administers scientifically the AuroraScience project which consists of interdisciplinary proposals that explore the architectural opportunities for high performance computing (HPC) systems optimised for a number of highly relevant scientific computing applications in Physics, Biology, Bioinformatics and Medical Physics. It is a joint PAT/INFN project involving several local and national institutions and is embedded into the European scene of HPC. In summary, ECT* plays an important role in Nuclear Physics and is highly appreciated by the large and growing community of its users. Its scientific projects are overseen by an internationally composed Scientific Board. ECT* is the only centre of its kind in Europe and faces new opportunities and challenges in the gradual emergence of a European Research Area and more and more international coordination. Jülich Supercomputer Centre, Germany The Jülich Supercomputing Infrastructure is the core of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), a European leadership HPC centre at Forschungszentrum Jülich. JSC’s strategy is a dual architecture to have always a competitive leadership-class, highly scalable machine, and a general-purpose system with a balance of approximately five to three, in terms of capability. Today, the leadership-class machine is an IBM Blue Gene/P system with 1 Petaflops peak performance, called JUGENE, while the general-purpose system is realised by an Intel- Nehalem based cluster called JUROPA with more than Perspectives of Nuclear Physics in Europe – NuPECC Long Range Plan 2010 | 21
