On the 29^{th of} April, 2017 the first experiment at HIL with metallic beam was successfully completed.

The experiment HIL066 “Transfer cross sections at near-barrier energies for the ²⁴Mg + ^90,92Zr systems” was proposed by Agnieszka Trzcińska form HIL and Władysław Trzaska from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.

The measurements were performed at ICARE scattering chamber. Identification of back scattered ions and reaction products were done employing the Time of Flight technique and energy loss vs energy (ΔE vs E) measurement of registered ions.

 The experiment was conducted in a collaboration with physicists from 6 countries: Finland, Italy, Germany, Romania, Russia and China with the Transnational Access (TNA) support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement n°654002 .

For the 13th time, the National Science Centre has announced a call for proposals under its OPUS and PRELUDIUM funding schemes. Researchers may apply for funding from a pool of ca € 67 million under the following funding programmes:

– OPUS 13 , funding scheme offers grants for the performance of basic research to all scientists, irrespective of their research experience (proposals submitted under this scheme may include the purchase or construction of research equipment);
– PRELUDIUM 13, offers funds to researchers at the beginning of their career who have not been awarded their PhD degree yet.

Proposals must be submitted via the OSF system (https://osf.opi.org.pl) by 16th June 2017.
