Welcome to the FlukaTeam Twiki Web Page
About us
Carlo Rubbia, Nobel Laureate in Physics in 1984 and former CERN General Director, started in 1993 with the EET group a new activity for developing innovative ideas in the domain of energy production and applications. He proposed, in particular, the Energy Amplifier, to extract nuclear energy with the help of accelerator-induced nuclear cascades.
Activities
The EET section has a very strong background in computational physics, focussed on the development of models of particle interaction and accelerator driven systems (ADS). The main tasks of the section are:
- to perform beam-machine interaction studies with Fluka concerning all the accelerators presently in operation and under design at CERN, in particular the LHC beam cleaning system and the CNGS line;
- to support the public releases of the Fluka code;
- to develop new physics models necessary for the study of present and future projects;
- to coordinate the simulation and engineering studies of the Multi-MegaWatt target in the framework of the EURISOL-DS project (Task #2)
- to take technical responsibility of the nTOF facility, including the nTOF beam line and the experimental area, and the coordination of CERN's obligations as host laboratory;
- in collaboration with JINR (Dubna) and IPPE (Obninsk), to take responsibility of fission cross section measurements with the FIC detector at the nTOF facility.
