WorkshopOn

European Small-Scale Accelerator FacilitiesOrganized at

Agios Nicolaos, Crete, Greece, September 7-8, 2007

Scientists from almost all European small-scale accelerator facilities both nuclear facilities and microprobes. Up to 40 participants contributed with several 30 min overview talks, 10-15 min contributions and fruitful discussions. Three main areas in three sessions were covered:

Nuclear AstrophysicsNuclear StructureMicroprobes for various

Applications

Three conveners managed with those topics: S. Harissopulos, N.V. Zamfir and Ph. Moretto, respectively.

For details go to web page www.nupecc.org/ssf/Welcome.html.

A very important and fruitful was the 4-th session during which various aspects of preparation to respond to calls of the forthcoming 7th Framework Program of the EU were discussed. The community organized itself for further cooperation into two networking groups concerned with:

•Nuclear physics and astrophysics in ENSF - The European Network on Small-scale

accelerator Facilities led by Sotirios Harrisopulos

•Microprobes and their applications in SPIRIT - Support of Public and Industrial Research

Using Ion Beam Technology led by Wolfhard Moeller

Letter from W. Moeller

Dear Prof. Haas,

It was a real pleasure to meet you in Crete during the NUPECC meeting on small accelerator facilities.

I would like to thank you and the NUPECC members very much for the support of our envisaged I3 proposal SPIRIT, by which a conflict of interest could be avoided which would have weakened our activity significantly.

There were only few institutions present which were not already on the list of potential SPIRIT partners. Be sure that we will consider it equally in the further process of the configuration of the SPIRIT consortium.

With kind regards

Wolfhard Moeller
