4.1.6Organisation


Organization

Type of organization

  • LAPP is a UMR (mixed unit) between the CNRS and the Savoie University (UdS). It is part of the CNRS-IN2P3 institute (solid network of 20 laboratories to participate to international projects)

  • The lab director is in charge of the leadership and reports to CNRS (IN2P3), the CNRS Delegation Regional of Alps and to the University. The lab director has appointed a management team to form an executive body for the lab.

Details of the organization

  • The management team is composed by the lab director and deputy, the technical and administrator directors.

  • The laboratory council and the scientific committee advise the management team

  • The LAPP management reports to both supervisors (CNRS and UdS) formally once a year during a dedicated meeting “Entretiens Objectifs Moyens”

  • The safety and quality control officer intervenes to all groups and reports to the management.

  • Each scientific project is discussed inside the laboratory council following a well established procedure and signs a “Contrat d’objectifs moyens” with the management if accepted, insuring the human resources. The financial resources are provided by the IN2P3 and other partners (EU, ANR, CG74) if approved by the institute scientific council.



4.1.7Partner 3 : LPSC

4.1.8Research and innovation


The “Laboratoire de Physique Subatomique et de Cosmologie de Grenoble” (LPSC)” is a research laboratory created in 1967. The LPSC is not only a major actor in the local Grenoble research environment but it also plays an important role at both the national and the international level. The size and complexity of the projects in which LPSC is involved are such that they are organized on time scales exceeding sometimes decades and that they request worldwide collaborations formed by hundreds of people. The annual budget of the lab is around 13 M€.

The physics themes we investigate include some of the great enigmas of modern physics including the unification of the four fundamental forces, the origin of the mass of subatomic particles, the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe and the search for dark matter and energy. Our experiments require the construction of complex and sophisticated detectors and therefore R&D of specific instrumentation and components in diverse domains (mechanics, electronics, computing …). Moreover the strong connection with our theoretical groups allows advanced experimental preparations, helps the interpretation of the analyzed data sets and optimizes the laboratory’s scientific return.

Interdisciplinary collaborations are another important feature of the laboratory. They address issues like new types of nuclear reactors for energy production and waste reduction, as well as athe interface between physics and other sciences like biology and medicine and more recently plasma physics. Spin-offs arise from the knowledge and the know-how acquired by the members of the lab during their fundamental research studies. The LPSC is also engaged involved in many teaching programs at the UJF and INP universities in Grenoble, in particular in the sole engineering school in France for civil nuclear power generation.
AERES assessment: A+ rating

In its report of July 2010 AERES underlines:



  • The excellence of the laboratory: “In these various disciplines, the experiments in which the LPSC is participating have a considerable impact. [...] With a strong technical skill in these domains and in the instrumentation, the LPSC easily finds partners in physics and can get involved completely in important experimental projects. The scientific return of the last four years is obvious. We can quote, as example, the measurement of the W boson mass at the Tevatron at Fermilab, a fundamental ingredient of our model of the subatomic world. This measurement is the best ever performed. At the other end of the spectra, we can also quote the results concerning the Ultra High-Energy Cosmic Rays by AUGER.”

  • Its international collaboration and position:Most of the physics groups work in big international collaborations. If we take the experiment Alice on the LHC at CERN as example, the LPSC team joined the experiment and took an essential responsibility in the construction and the assembly of the calorimeter. [...] The LPSC plays an international role in the world of subatomic physics. To better appreciate this, we can point out where the experiences in which LPSC participates take place : they are in South America, North America, Antarctica, and everywhere in Europe”

  • Interdisciplinary and adaptability: “Part of the members who joined the ATLAS group are physicists who participated to DØ and who brought their expertise from DØ to ATLAS they took very important responsibilities in ATLAS. “
