ISOTOPP / PREPARATION_3

June 26th, 2018

Connected to the data feed from the radioactivity from the Nuclear Central Ganil, voici quelques premières ébauches visuelles. Les résultats sont étonnants, très dynamiques et les algorithmes génératifs produisent des images brutes mais aussi très sensitives.

ISOTOPP / preparation_1

June 26th, 2018

Quelques photos de l’aventure pre-Isotopp. Visites avec les chercheurs du GANIL Jean-Charles Thomas puis Thomas Roger. le GANIL procède par collision de noyaux lancés à très grande vitesse. Le principe est de projeter à 100 000 km/sec un faisceau de ions lourds (éléments chimiques dont le poids est situé entre celui d’un atome de carbone et celui d’un atome d’uranium) contre les noyaux cibles. Les effets produits par ce bombardement sont enregistrés par des détecteurs, puis étudiés en détail par les chercheurs.
