Nantes at the forefront of research on the FLASH effect
Researchers from the ICO (Institut de Cancérologie de l'Ouest), Subatech laboratory and GIP ARRONAX have been collaborating for years to better understand the FLASH effect observed during external irradiation of (…)
Mohammad and radiolysis applied to medicine
A few years after his thesis in radiochemistry at the Subatech laboratory, Mohammad Ghalei returned to Nantes to develop the radiolysis research carried out at GIP ARRONAX. Mohammad Ghalei's experiments (…)
A Raman/microscopy equipment for radiobiology
Santiago Sanchez Salas, a 4th year engineering student at INSA Toulouse, has developed a coupler system allowing to consider cellular observations at the micrometer scale with excellent signal-to-noise intensity and (…)
Radiolysis of carbonates at the origin of life?
Through a set of experiments using the alpha and gamma beams of the Arronax cyclotron, the radiolysis team of the radiochemistry group of the Subatech laboratory, led by Johan Vandenborre, (…)

On February 4, a new sample changer developed by the radiolysis team was used for the first time on the line dedicated to research for the Arronax cyclotron. It made (…)
An emittance-meter at Arronax
Since the beginning of 2021, the GIP ARRONAX is hosting an emittance-meter. This device which measures the density of particles in position and in angle is installed in the injection (…)
Vincent Fiegel explores the radiochemistry of superplasticizers
Grâce au faisceau d'Arronax, le jeune scientifique entame une série de travaux visant à collecter des données inédites sur la dégradation des polycarboxylates d'éther soumis à des rayonnements ionisants. After (…)
PEPITES : a golden project for the Arronax beam
The PEPITES project aims to develop a detector capable of establishing a "beam diagnosis", i.e. to collect information on the position, shape and size of a beam but also on (…)
Radiation protection: teams under surveillance
From September 11 to 25, 86 personnel from five member structures or partners of Arronax Nantes went to the IRSN truck parked on the GIP Arronax site. Objective: to monitor (…)
