From 15th to 20th of October 2017 Versailles

We are pleased to announce the 6th Accelerator Reliability Workshop, ARW 2017, which will take place in Versailles, France, from October 15 to October 20, 2017. ARW 2017 is hosted by Synchrotron SOLEIL and supported by ESRF, GANIL, Institut Curie and the French Physics Society. It follows in the tradition of successful workshops started by the ESRF (Grenoble 2002), TRIUMF (Vancouver 2009), iThemba (Cape Town 2011), the Australian Synchrotron (Melbourne 2013) and SNS (Knoxville 2015).

The ARW provides a venue for individuals from accelerator communities worldwide to meet and share their experiences on operating reliable facilities. The workshop fulfills the need to improve information exchange on technical issues and equipment reliability. It facilitates the opportunity for individuals to share their problems and solutions with their peers from other facilities, worldwide.

We look forward to welcoming you at Versailles and meeting you at the workshop.

Rossano Giachino, CERN, Chairman of the International Organizing Committee

SOLEIL, an acronym for “Optimized Light Source of Intermediate Energy to LURE* ,” is a research center located on the Plateau de Saclay in Saint Aubin, Essonne. More concretely, it is a particle (electron) accelerator that produces the synchrotron radiation, an extremely powerful light that permits exploration of inert or living matter.

High-technology facility, SOLEIL is both an electromagnetic radiation source covering a wide range of energies (from the infrared to the x-rays) and a research laboratory at the cutting edge of experimental techniques dedicated to matter analysis down to the atomic scale, as well as a service platform open to all scientific and industrial communities.

The Proton Therapy Center of Orsay (CPO), unit of Institut Curie,  has treated over 5000 patients since its creation in 1991 and 550 patients for the year 2016. 

The center consist of a 230 MeV cyclotron and 3 treatments rooms.

Patients with ophthalmological and intra-cranial tumors can be treated in seated or lying positions. Other tumors located in other parts of the body can be treated in a dedicated room equiped with an isocentric gantry.

The center carries on also reasearch activities

The staff is composed of nearly 50 people (Radiation Oncologists, Medical physicists, Therapists, Technicians, Engineers)

GANIL research activities deal theoretically and experimentally with:

the structure of the atomic nucleus

the nuclear fission and multifragmentation processes

the hot nuclear matter

nuclear astrophysics

interdisciplinarity studies

Studies are performed within European and International collaborations and they involve different institutes belonging to the CEA/DRF and to the CNRS/IN2P3 organizations.

A number of technical developments associated with existing and foreseen equipments are performed by local engineers and technicians, in collaboration with other French and foreign institutes.

The ESRF is the world's most intense X-ray source and a centre of excellence for fundamental and innovation-driven research in condensed and living matter science.

Located in Grenoble, France, the ESRF owes its success to the international cooperation of 22 partner nations, of which 13 are Members and 9 are Associates.

Thanks to the brilliance and quality of its X-rays, the ESRF functions like a "super-microscope" which "films" the position and motion of atoms in condensed and living matter, and reveals the structure of matter in all its beauty and complexity. It provides unrivaled opportunities for scientists in the exploration of materials and living matter in many fields: chemistry, material physics, archaeology and cultural heritage, structural biology and medical applications, environmental sciences, information science and nanotechnologies.
