Atomic Collisions and Electron Spectroscopy
Laboratory: The Atomic Collisions and Electron Spectroscopy
Laboratory has primarily focused on the investigation of collision
mechanisms involved in energetic highly charged ion interactions
with atoms using the technique of zero-degree Auger electron
projectile spectroscopy. Measurements have been performed
at leading atomic physics accelerator facilities primarily
at Kansas State University, Hahn-Meitner Institute, ATOMKI
and GSI. Various electron spectroscopy collision techniques
have been developed together with advances in the use of state-of-the-art
electron spectrometers with position sensitive detectors.
Recent collaborations include work at FLASH,
SPARC,
the hosting of ISIAC
2007 and the Erasmus IP on Charged Particle Optics
CPOTS.

National Centre for Scientific
Research Demokritos (Local coordinator:
Dr. Sotirios Harissopulos)
The TANDEM Laboratory uses
the accelerator for the study of Nuclear Structure and Reactions,
Microanalysis of Trace elements and applications in Environmental
Biology, the Characterization of New Materials and Archeometry,
the Production of Energy and the Evolution of Stars, Theoretical
and Experimental Astrophysics and Cosmology research. The
TANDEM Laboratory is currently undergoing a large-scale upgrade
of its facilities funded by the FP7/REGPOT/LIBRA
project
The
Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP) is one of the
eight institutes of the NCSR Demokritos. Its activities focus
on Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics and their applications.
Its scientific personnel comprise 20 staff research scientists,
6 postdoctoral researchers, 14 graduate students and 6 researchers
and 6 technicians. The INP hosts the only accelerator in the
country, an electrostatic Van de Graaff Tandem accelerator
with a maximum acceleration voltage of 5.5 MV.
The
National Centre for Scientific Research Demokritos
(NCSR "D") is an autonomous legal entity governed by public
law. Since 1985 it has come under the auspices of the General
Secretariat for Research and Technology of the Ministry of
Development. It is now the largest research entity in Greece
(approximately 500 scientists and 400 technical and supporting
personnel), with major activities in nuclear and particle
physics, nuclear technology and its environmental implications,
development of alternative solar and hydrogen energy technologies,
aerosol technology, physical and chemical characterization
techniques and environmental fluid dynamics for atmospheric
modeling and other environmental applications.

University of Ioannina
(Local coordinator: Prof. Manolis Benis)
ATOMOL
UoI: The ATOMOL group focuses on investigations
of atomic and molecular structure and dynamics, spectroscopic
techniques in the study of highly excited and autoionizing
states and harmonic generation. Mass spectrometry techniques
are applied to study the dynamics of molecular electronic
states. Imaging techniques including pump-probe approaches
developed for the study of non-linear phenomena in the interaction
of strong lasers with atoms, molecules and clusters. Laser
technology applications include analytical laser techniques,
laser ablation, thin film development, Bragg gratings in fibers,
photonic sensors and communications. Profs. Cohen and Benis
have extensive experience with charged particle optics and
accelerator-based atomic physics, respectively.

Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki
(Local coordinator: Prof. Alekos Clouvas)
Nuclear
Technology Laboratory AUTH: The permanent staff
(2 professors, 1 lecturer) of the Nuclear Technology Laboratory
worked during the last twenty years on the consequences of
the Chernobyl accident on the agricultural production and
natural ecosystems, on indoor radon, on the development of
new techniques (e.g. In situ gamma spectrometry for indoor
measurements), on the simulation of Germanium and plastic
detectors, on industrial systems diagnostics and on fast ion
interaction with matter (ion induced electron emission from
solids).
Laboratory
of Inorganic Chemistry, Dept. of Chemistry AUTH:
The Radiochemistry Group participating in this proposal is
administrationally part of the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory
of the Department of Chemistry of the Aristotelian University
of Thessaloniki. The research interests of the group are the
study of nuclear reactions of analytical interest and their
application to the characterization of near-surface layers
of materials (Ion-Beam Analysis), the radiochemistry and radioanalytical
chemistry, the investigation of the interactions of heavy
metals and radionuclides with natural and synthetic sorbents
and environmental radiochemistry.

University of Athens
NUSTRAP
UoA The NUSTRAP group (Nuclear Structure,
Reactions & Applications) is a recently formed research initiative,
inspired and organized by Asst. Prof. Theo J. Mertzimekis
at the University of Athens. The main research directions
are studies of nuclear structure, especially focusing to nuclear
electromagnetic moments, lifetimes and related phenomena using
stable and radioactive beams, at national and international
facilities. Reaction studies involve measurements of spin-polarization
at the extremes of the nuclear chart. Experiments take place
at state-of-the-art accelerator facilities, such as GANIL
and ISOLDE/CERN, with large detector arrays and modern spectroscopic
techniques. A significant portion of the applied research
activities are centered around X- and γ-radiation investigations
at synchrotrons and TANDEM accelerators, targeting environmental,
material and geochemical applications.

Greek Atomic Energy Commission
Greek
Atomic Energy Commission: Is the national competent
authority, responsible for nuclear safety and radiation protection
issues. It is an independent public service whose primary
mission is the protection of the public, workers and the environment
from ionizing and artificially produced non-ionizing radiation.
It is supervised by the General Secretariat for Research and
Technology under the Ministry of Education.
