JANNUS (Joint Accelerators for Nano-Science and Nuclear Simulation) is a joint project between CEA, CNRS/IN2P3, and the University of Paris-Sud, managed by Yves Serruys (Project Director for CEA) and Marie Odile Ruault (Project Director for CNRS). It has been designed to study the modification of materials using multiple ion beams and in-situ TEM observation. It will be a unique facility in Europe for the study of irradiation effects and ion beam modification of materials, the simulation of damage due to irradiation and in particular of combined effects.
The project is also intended to bring together experimental and modelling teams for a mutual fertilisation of their activities. It will also contribute to the teaching of particle-matter interactions and their applications.
JANNUS will be composed of three accelerators with a common experimental chamber and of two accelerators coupled to a TEM. The installation comprises three beam accelerators that converge on a UHV experiment chamber - realised by MECA 2000 - and two accelerators coupled to a TEM. Irradiation and simultaneous implementation of various materials samples will be possible, as well as their in-situ characterisation.
