CIRIL: more than 30 years of interdisciplinary research at GANIL

The CIRIL: 30 years of interdisciplinary research at GANIL meeting was held in Caen, France, in October 2013. The meeting provided an excellent opportunity to present the research performed with ion beams delivered by the GANIL facility (Grand Accelerateur National d'Ions Lourds, Caen, France). This proceedings volume comprises a series of reviews from different disciplines (physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, etc) of the results obtained with GANIL ion beams. Unfortunately, the issue is missing two major research domains concerning the induced damage in metals and insulators. Therefore, we refer the interested readers to the following publications: metals [1] and insulators [2].
