FAZIA Collaboration Structure

Structure of the FAZIA internationnal collaboration that regroup more than 30 nuclear physicists from France, Italy, South Korea, Poland and Spain. We designed and built a new-generation charged particle detector array for nuclear structure and reaction studies using heavy-ion collisions with stable and radioactive beams. FAZIA is operating since 2018 in GANIL.

Task groups

TG1: Electronics, DACQ and control

Conveners: Simone Valdrè & Jeonghyeok Park

Updates and improves the current data acquisition system; provides coupling with other devices; takes care of the slow control system; oversees the design and the development of possible new DACQ system to be used in new facilities.

TG2: Detector and instrumentation

Conveners: Giovanni Casini & Minjung Kweon

Develops and oversees the detector construction; maintains the various parts of FAZIA (detectors, electronics, mechanics…); improves the global set-up reliability; prepares the experiments in various facilities worldwide ensuring the good coupling of existing detectors with new or existing ones; oversees the design and the development of possible new detectors to be used in new facilities.

TG3: Analysis and simulation

Conveners: Silvia Piantelli & John Frankland

Coordinates the data reduction (calibration/identification); updates the continuous data improvement; organizes regular specific analysis meetings in coordination with the experiment spoke-persons; manages the KaliVeda software (database, filter, simulations…); performs simulations related to the interpretation of experimental data.

TG4: Physics case and collaborative synergies

Conveners: Giuseppe Verde & Alberto Camaiani

Follows the scientific activities in various facilities worldwide and informs regularly the collaboration; keeps contacts with relevant laboratories; proposes possible developments regarding the future beams and general equipment in those facilities; coordinates the preparation of proposals/LoIs for the various PACs, including simulations and model calculations; keeps connection with theoreticians; promotes and stimulates collaborations.

TG5: Open data and communication

Conveners: Maxime Henri & Katarzyna Mazurek

Produces and updates the collaboration Data Management Plan; ensure that FAZIA articles are uploaded to open data platforms (HEP-Data); works towards open access of the FAZIA database; takes care of the collaboration website and communications.
