Behind our EUROPA project is a dedicated network of 12 European partners collaborating to revolutionize medical radioisotope production for cancer treatment. Over the next few months, we are shining a light on the institutions, researchers, and innovators driving our mission.
CNRS/LP2IB contributes to EUROPA in the fields of nuclear physics, Monte Carlo simulations (Geant4), and machine learning analysis. They are responsibe for the coordination of task 1.1, including the development of a Bremsstrahlung converter to optimize electron-to-photon conversion, and are also involved in tasks 2.1 (dispersive spectrometers), 2.2 (online flux monitor), and task 3.1 (from targeting to radiochemical separation and purification).
Their work relies on advanced simulations (Geant4) and data analysis for experiments conducted in facilities like AIFIRA (ion beam analysis) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm laser).
The understanding of the infinitely small, its connection to the infinitely large, and the application of nuclear physics techniques to research in health and the environment form the foundation of the laboratory’s research activities.
