- Spain officially participates in FAIR with a 2% contribution
- All Spanish experimental groups participate in FAIR experiments
- We participate only in 7 FAIR experiments (concentration of resources
to increase visibility)

Spanish participation in FAIR: facility
workpackage: superferric multiplets of the Super-FRS (CIEMAT) - Spain and France will equally contribute to this workpackage (~ 40 M€) - A consortium with France (CEA/CNRS) is foreseen
Superferric magnet prototypes for XFEL

Strategic plan for Nuclear Physics 2008-2012
José Benlliure, MICINN-IN2P3 meeting Madrid, January 2009
Maintain the present scientific programs at existing international collaborations: - CERN (Isolde, nTOF), GSI (FRS-RISING, Aladin-Land), GANIL, …
R&D and construction of instrumentation for FAIR experiments - R3B, HISPEC/DESPEC, Elise, MATS
Use of the existing small facities in Spain for detector R&D or complementary experiments to the ones performed at large international facilities
Future projects
José Benlliure, MICINN-IN2P3 meeting Madrid, January 2009
The Spanish Network for Nuclear Physics Research (FNUC) is presently ellaborating a mid-term road-map, some future projects under discussion are:
Spiral 2: - The Spanish nuclear physics community has expressed a scientific interest - Synergies on detector R&D between FAIR and Spiral 2 are identified - Other scientific communities in Spain have technological interests: neutron physics (ESS-Bilbao), fusion (CIEMAT)
Underground nuclear astrophysics experiment at LSC (Canfranc) - Included in the LSC strategic plan - On-going contacts with INFN and the LUNA collaboration - Workshop on the scientific oportunities for a nuclear-astrophysics experiement at LSC next February at Barcelona
AGATA
……
Summary
We are a relatively small community with modest resources and few infrastructures, but we are quite active in most of the existing facilities in Europe and our resources are progressively increasing
Our research interests concentrate around NUSTAR physics, with a lack of activity in experimental hadron physics
Our short-term future is dominated by FAIR and probably some smaller projects around national infrastructures
Our mid-term road-map is presently under discussion: Spiral 2, LSC, AGATA, …
