• From 1968: cyclotron available for nuclear physics
• 1975-1980: design and construction of a second stage cyclotron (“SARA”)
Important local manpower on this
project and for the facility
exploitation (1980-1998)

20th Anniversary of JUAS April 25th, 2014
• From 80’s: Evolution towards new fields of physics (neutrino physics, hadron
physics, high energy particle physics,… ) and at other facilities in France and
foreign countries (ILL, Bugey, GANIL, Saturne, CERN, Jlab,…):
Physics research is no more “local”, building new machines or instruments
requires international collaborations (and fundings): LPSC contributes to other
large scale facilities (SPIRAL2, CERN, ion sources)

• End of 90’s: introduction of astroparticles physics and cosmology: observations
from Earth and in space !
• In 2003 ISN becomes “LPSC”: Lab for Subatomic Physics and Cosmology
AMS

LPSC history
20th Anniversary of JUAS April 25th, 2014
• In the 90’s accelerators are also instruments for medical and nuclear reactor
sciences : society issues
• In particular : renewal of the concept of nuclear reactor driven by accelerator
“ADS”
• LPSC designs and builds an electrostatic deuteron accelerator for neutron
production: the GENEPI accelerator, for ADS experiments at the MASURCA (CEA)
research reactor (MUSE program: 1998-2004)
• LPSC builds a second GENEPI machine for the lab
• A third and upgraded GENEPI is designed within a
IN2P3 collaboration to be coupled to the VENUS
Belgian reactor (SCK-CEN)
GUINEVERE project
• 2014: building the low
energy line for the LINAC
of the MYRRHA project
GE-1
GE-3C

LPSC (ISN) and JUAS
20th Anniversary of JUAS April 25th, 2014
• Since the cyclotron design at ISN (SARA):
• Several engineers give lectures to the DEA “Méthodes Physiques Expérimentales”
• In 1990, through the impetus given by Pr. Fernand Merchez (UJF) and Pr. Jean-Pierre
Longequeue (INPG) a first international school is organized with lectures from 4
experts from CERN (including Louis Rinolfi !) and Jean-Louis Laclare (ESRF):
immediate success !
• A proposition is made to CERN director (Carlo Rubbia !) to renew this school in name
of 4 universities: INPG, Université Joseph Fourier, Technische Hochschule Darmstadt
(TU Darmstadt), Universität Karlsruhe.
• First lectures at the “chalet” on ISN site,
before installation at Archamps…
JUAS was born !
Welcome address
And now…
20th Anniversary of JUAS April 25th, 2014
• Thanks to pioneer construction projects in the 60’s people acquired experience,
expertise, and decided to share it
• Multiplication of projects, large scale facilities, built by international collaborations
required more people with dedicated skills
• JUAS school really brought at the right moment (at the right place !) what a
community was needing to expand and face the new challenges driven by physics
research
• The success of this school, attracting many students allows the sustainability of
making science(s) for and with accelerators (and related technologies)
• Today a lab like LPSC, born with a small cyclotron in the 60’s is still able to take
part to new challenges of international research thanks to this close link between
research and education, especially in such advanced technologies.
• Congratulations to people who carried on this school project
• Wishes for 20 additional years (or more !) of success !
