Partner news: GANIL makes nuclear physics accessible to the public
As part of the 2012 French Science Festival ("Fête de la Science") GANIL-SPIRAL2 shared a 100 m2 booth with the neighbouring lab LPC to present research activities on Nuclear Physics. About 30 GANIL-SPIRAL2 staff tended the booth at the Village des sciences de Caen which received over 10,000 visitors. A video and games were used to make nuclear physics accessible to all ages and demonstrations of vacuum effects, radioactivity and optics were held. Subsequently, visits were organised at GANIL to present the current and future facilities to schools and public. Further information...
