The SISSI project : an intense secondary ion source using superconducting solenoid lenses

International audienceIn order to make a better use of the higher beam intensities soon available at GANIL, a proposal called SISSI was presented in 1989. It consists of a set of two superconducting solenoid lenses of very short focal length (0.6 m). The fist solenoid is used to sharply focus the incoming beam on a fast moving target. The second increases the angular acceptance of the beam line downstream the target for charged reaction products. Calculations show that from a 0.4-mm-diameter beam spot on the target, an acceptance angle of up to 80 mrad will be reached without significant emittance growth due to aberration effects. Technical aspects of that project are presente

Avant projet d'un post-accélérateur de 500 MeV/A à GANIL : CSS3

La communauté des physiciens utilisateurs du GANIL a commencé en 1989 à réfléchir aux domaines de recherche que pourraient ouvrir l'existence à GANIL de faisceau d'ions à 500 MeV/nucléon dont les qualités optiques et les intensités seraient équivalentes à celles attendues après l’achèvement de l'Opération d'Augmentation d'Intensité (phases 1 et 2)

Do clinical guidelines reduce clinician dependent costs?

Clinician dependent costs are the costs of care that are under the discretion of the healthcare provider. These costs include the costs of drugs, tests and investigations, and discretionary outpatient visits and impatient stays. The purpose of this review was to summarize recent evidence, relevant to both developed and developing countries on whether evidence based clinical guidelines can change hospitals variable costs which are clinician dependent, and the degree of financial savings achieved at hospital level. Potential studies for inclusion were identified using structured searches of Econlit, J-Stor, and Pubmed databases. Two reviewers independently evaluated retrieved studies for inclusion. The methodological quality of the selected articles was assessed using the Oxford Centre for Evidence- Based Medicine (CEBM) levels of evidence. The results suggest that 10 of the 11 interventions were successful reducing financial costs. Most of the interventions, either in modeling studies or real interventions generate significant financial saving, although the former reported higher savings because the studies assumed 100 percent compliance
