Responsabilities

 

Scientific leader of the CeLAND project (2012-)

Several observed anomalies in neutrino oscillation data can be explained by a hypothetical fourth neutrino separated from the three standard neutrinos by a squared mass difference of a few eV2. These anomalies can be tested with a 2.8 PBq 144Ce- 144Pr antineutrino beta-source deployed next/in of KamLAND. This project has been awarded by an ERC starting grant for the period 2012-2017. The goal is to produce the source at PA Mayak in 2014 and to deploy it next to KamLAND in 2015.
 

Scientific leader of the Double Chooz experiment at CEA (2003-)

Among the two initiators and leaders of the Double Chooz experiment

Editor of the letter of intent (2004) and of the proposal of the experiment (2006)

Leading role in the formation of the collaboration and in the funding processes 

Member of the Executive Committee - Member of the Technical Board

Analysis Coordinator. Co-head of the Mechanical group. Head of the Reading Committee

 

Scientific leader of the Nucifer experiment at CEA (2008-)

Nucifer is an experiment using neutrinos to endeavour the detection of the proliferation of nuclear fissile 

material in nuclear power stations (plutonium diversion), in collaboration with IAEA.

Leading role in the funding process (first proposed in 2005, funded in 2008) and detector design

 

Co-convener of the GDR-GT1 (2005–2011)

The GDR (“Groupement De Recherche”) is a common structure of CEA & CNRS to gather the French neutrino groups to improve the fundamental understanding of neutrinos through a coherent and unified approach. The GT1 (“Groupe de Travail 1”) is the working group devoted to the determination of the fundamental properties of neutrinos.
