Abstract :
The project of an important new extension of the GANIL facility – SPIRAL 2 which entered in the construction phase in 2005 is shortly presented. The physics case of the facility is based on the use of high intensity stable and radioactive beams. Expected performances and main technical parameters of the facility as well as planned new experimental areas and detectors are introduced described.
