The interdisciplinary research platform CIRIL at GANIL (Caen, France) provides a unique environment for cutting edge studies using a wide variety of ion beamlines. These beamlines cover a wide energy range and offer excellent stability, making it possible to run experiments with both light and heavy ions. As one of the few facilities worldwide offering simultaneous access to such a spectrum of beams, CIRIL hosts over a hundred projects annually, with several thousand hours of beam time delivered to a diverse user community.
Today, the topics explored at CIRIL are as varied as its users: from atomic physics to radiobiology and astrophysics, and from organic and hybrid materials to the study of metals and ceramics. Looking ahead, several new installations are planned at CIRIL@GANIL. The talk aims to give an overview of the current status and to discuss current challenges and future endeavours.
