The "Center of Research on Ions Materials and Photonics" (CIMAP) at GANIL (National Large Accelerator of Heavy Ions) is a division joining the former CIRIL and SIFCOM laboratories.
CIMAP is a joint Laboratory between CEA, CNRS, the Caen High Scool of Engineering (ENSICaen) and the Caen University.
Ion-matter interaction and materials for LASER applications are its main research programs.
The Laboratory Interactions, Dynamics and Lasers - LIDYL is a research unit associated with three organisms: CEA, CNRS within the Paris Saclay University. Its activities are focused on the fundamental processes involved in the interaction between radiation and matter.
The research projects range from attosecond electron dynamics in simple atomic and molecular systems to the reactivity of biomolecules on the millisecond time-scale, going through plasma studies.
The Laboratoire des Solides Irradiés (LSI) is a joint research unit of the CEA, the CNRS and the École Polytechnique since 2000. It is located on the École Polytechnique site (Palaiseau campus).
The laboratory conducts fundamental research activities in physics and physical chemistry of materials.
Its objective is to study the fundamental properties of the solid state and its interactions with electronic, ionic and photonic radiation. Radiation, whatever its nature, is used as a means of analyzing fundamental processes, but can also, for instance, induce structural modifications. The main goal is to understand the physical properties, functionalities, structure and shape of materials, to control their modifications and to drive the emergence of innovative devices, likely to meet the societal challenges for energy and the environment.
To achieve this, the laboratory has developed multidisciplinary activities based on numerous complementary analytical techniques as well as theoretical and numerical approaches. The scientific work is organized around 3 main themes:
The Leon Brillouin Laboratory (LLB) is located around the Orpheus nuclear reactor in the CEA-Saclay Centre. It is a joint national Laboratory between CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) and CEA (French Atomic Energy Commission). Its research programs are:
We are the Condensed Matter Physics laboratory of IRAMIS (Saclay Institute for Radiation and Matter), a part of the French National Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in Saclay, France.
SPEC is "Unité Mixte de Recherche" with the CNRS : UMR 3680.
At SPEC, we strive to be at the forefront of fundamental Condensed Matter Physics Research. Our research interests encompass a wide variety of subject matters ranging from nano- to macro-scopic scales and from the most fundamental aspects of science to applications, patents and technology transfer. SPEC is involved in many collaborations, within the CEA and at the national and international levels.

NIMBE (Nanoscience and Innovation for Materials, Biomedecine and Energy) is a CEA-CNRS joint research unit (UMR 3685), whose activity is oriented towards the design, processing and analysis of matter from micron scale to nanoscale, as well as the understanding of the physicochemical mechanisms and their synergies, over these scales.
All these approaches are applied primarily to address major societal challenges like (nano) materials for sustainable energy management, information processing, environment, biomedical diagnostics, historical heritage...
A hundred permanent researchers and technicians depend on the NIMBE, which relies on 7 laboratories, all members of a Labex:
The unit is one of the funding members of the "Fédération de chimie physique du Plateau de Saclay" (FR3510 CNRS).
Its main activity areas are:
