A High Intensity Neutrino Oscillation Facility in Europe (EUROnu)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
The recent discovery that the neutrino changes type (or flavour) as it travels through space, a phenomenon referred to as neutrino oscillations, implies that neutrinos have a tiny, but non-zero mass. This implies that the Standard Model of particle physics is incomplete. The implications are far reaching: e.g neutrino interactions may be responsible for the removal of all the anti-matter created i ...

International Linear Collider and High Gradient Superconducting RF-Cavities (ILC-HiGrade)
Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,
There is worldwide consensus that the e+e- International Linear Collider (ILC) is the next major project in High Energy Physics following the imminent commissioning of the LHC; it is a high priority in the European Strategy for Particle Physics agreed by CERN Council. The ILC will constitute the precision tool for the Terascale, the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking. The ILC complements the p ...

Einstein gravitational-wave Telescope (ET)
Start date: May 5, 2008, End date: Jul 4, 2011,
"This project concerns the study and the conceptual design for a new infrastructure that will bring Europe to the forefront of the most promising new development in our quest to understand the history and future of the Universe, the emergence of the field of Gravitational Wave Astronomy. We are proposing to study the conceptual design of a new European infrastructure, a GW observatory that could c ...

Targeting alpha-particle emitting radionuclides to combat cancer (TARCC)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
"This project aims at improving drug delivery to cancer cells by developing targeted radiotherapy with alpha-emitting radionuclides. Alpha particles emitted by radionuclides have short tracks (about 100 microns) in body tissues. As a result, they should be most appropriate to treat small-size tumours and isolated cancer cells. This project proposes the development of improved vectors and targeting ...

Preparatory Phase of the Large Hadron Collider Upgrade (SLHC-PP)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2011,
"The Large Hadron Collider upgrade (SLHC) is the project with highest priority in “The European strategy for particle physics” document, unanimously approved by the CERN Council in July 2006. The SLHC, with expected 1 B€ budget, includes the upgrade of specific elements of the LHC accelerator, major upgrades in the accelerator injector complex, as well as upgrades to the two high-luminosity experi ...

Enabling Desktop Grids for e-Science (EDGeS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2010,
Grid systems are currently being used and adopted by a growing number of user groups and diverse application domains. However, there still exist many scientific communities whose applications require much more computing resources than existing Grids like EGEE can provide. The main objective of this project is to support these new communities:a) by providing the necessary extensions for existing Gr ...
