College 3

College Secretary: Hanno FILTER
Mailing list: col03_l(at)ill.eu

College 3 covers nuclear and particle physics research and has a strong overlap with the activities of the Nuclear and Particle Physics Group (NPP) at the ILL.
The NPP group operates six instruments with strong overlap with the activities of college 3:

• FIPPS — Fission Product Prompt gamma-ray Spectrometer.
• PN1 ‘Lohengrin’ - Fission product spectroscopy of exotic neutron rich nuclei.
• PF1B – (polarised) cold neutron beam facility.
• PF2 – Very-cold and ultra-cold neutron facility.
• SuperSUN — Super Ultra Cold Neutron source.
• S18 — Thermal neutron interferometer (CRG).

These instruments cover a wide range of physical phenomena in atomic, nuclear and particle physics involving all known fundamental forces. Our members work specifically on an equally broad range of questions in fundamental physics, the development of new techniques and devices for neutron science, and the production of isotopes for medical applications.



If you would like to discuss with us, for example by presenting your work in the scope of a seminar, please send an email to the college secretary. We might even be able to reimburse travel and expenses for your stay.



If you would like to propose an experiment in the scope of our college, please see the proposal submission guidelines. There you will find all necessary information to prepare your proposal. 
Please remember to also contact the corresponding instrument responsible as early as possible, as they can help you to robustly define the scope of your experiment.
