The Pierre Auger Observatory is today the largest observatory built, with a ground surface of 3000 km², dedicated to the observation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (>10^18 eV). At these energies we found two structures in the energy spectrum of the cosmic rays (CRs): the ankle (~ 4.10^18 eV) and the GZK cut-off (~5.10^19 eV) which are really interesting to understand the origin of the CRs...

In case of a severe accident scenario in sodium-cooled fast reactors, due to transient over power accident (TOPA) or unprotected loss of flow accident (ULOFA) the fuel might melt generating a hot mixture named corium. When the hot molten fuel (≈ 3000 K) issuing from the degraded core comes in contact with sodium, molten fuel-coolant interaction (FCI) will occur, which can be explosive. The...

Mon travail de thèse concerne l’étude de l’évolution structurale sous faisceaux d’ions d’oxydes de terres rares binaires de structure cubique. L’objectif est double. Premièrement, mettre en évidence les changements structuraux intervenant dans ces conditions hors équilibre et en comprendre l’origine, en vue de l’utilisation de ces matériaux dans le domaine de l’énergie nucléaire. Deuxièmement,...
