The SPIRAL2 Project at Ganil

The SPIRAL2 project is now close to the end of the Detailed Design Study (APD) phase. The baseline project, as well as possible extensions, was presented at various meetings and an intermediate report has been published, showing the technical solutions chosen, as well as the tentative time schedule and construction costs. The reference project, including the baseline project and the addition of a number of extensions, was discussed with the physics group and presented at the Steering Committee, held on the 5th of February 2004. A decision for the beginning of the construction in 2005 could be taken before the end of this year.
