Construction of a 700 MHz prototypal cryomodule for the EUROTRANS ads proton linear accelerator

TUPPO008International audienceAccelerator Driven system (ADS) are being considered for their potential use in the transmutation of nuclear waste. Such a device typically requires a 600MeV to 1GeV accelerator delivering a high intensity beam. Because of the induced thermal stress to the subcritical core, the high-power proton LINAC will have to fulfill stringent reliability requirements. One working package of the EUROTRANS project is dedicated to the design, realization and tests of a prototypical cryomodule, operating at 2K, for the LINAC high energy section. Elliptical cavities will compose this accelerator section. A full scale cryomodule with a beta 0.47 TRASCO cavity and its cold tunning system will be tested at IPNO, early 2010. Experiment aims to evaluate the cavity performances (Eacc=8.5 MV/m) but above all the whole cryomodule reliability to fulfill ADS stringent requirements

Version courte des recommandations de la récupération ameliorée après chirurgie (RAAC) pour la cystectomie : mesures techniques [Short version of recommendations for enhanced recovery program (ERP) for cystectomy: Technical measures]

The enhanced recovery program (ERP) is a management mode whose objective is to reduce the risk of complications and allow the patient to recover more quickly all its functional capacities and to reintegrate at most quickly and safely in his usual environment. This intentionally synthetic document aims to disseminate in the urological community the main points of the ERP recommendations for cystectomy. This work, coordinated by AFU, involves several other partners. The full document is available on the "Urofrance" website. Another article will follow on organizational measures. The development of the recommendations is based on the method "formalized consensus of experts" proposed by the HAS. The report is based on a systematic review of the literature (January 2006-May 2017), two rounds of iterative quotations and a national proofreading. Levels of proof of conclusions and gradation of recommendations are based on the HAS grid. The bibliographic strategy made it possible to retain 298 articles. Only the recommendations that obtained a strong agreement after the two rounds of iterative listing were retained. The recommendations presented here are in chronological form (before, during, after hospitalization). Twenty-six key points on the technical and organizational measures of ERP have been identified. The result of the literature review, supplemented by expert opinion, suggests a significant clinical interest in the application and dissemination of ERP for cystectomy, despite the limited data available for this indication

SPIRAL II : Preliminary design study

There is currently in the nuclear physics community a strong interest in the use of beams of accelerated radioactive ions. Although a fast glance at the nuclide chart immediately shows the vast unknown territories on the neutron-rich side of the valley of beta stability, only few projects are concerned with the neutron-rich nuclides.The SPIRAL-II program aims at studying the techniques for delivering beams of neutron-rich radioactive nuclidesat energies of a few MeV per nucleon. For that purpose, some study groups have been formed to evaluate the possibility ofsuch a project inthe different components: physics case, target-ion sources, drivers, postacceleration and general infrastructure. The organization of the project study is given at the end of this report. You will find also the name of all the people involved in the study. The following report presents an overview of the study
