C. Bhattacharya (Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre - Bidhan Nagar, Kolkata, India) - Experimental Nuclear Physics Research Activities at VECC. Abstract The K500 superconducting cyclotron (SCC) at the Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC), Kolkata, has accelerated Neon ion test beam up to the extraction radius and is expected to deliver soon a large variety of particle ion beams over a wide range of energies (upto ~ 80 MeV protons, ~10-80 MeV/nucleon medium heavy ions with mass A< 60 and ~ 5-20 MeV/nucleon for heaviest ions) and open up a new frontier in intermediate energy nuclear physics research in India. A comprehensive utilisation programme is presently being implemented and several large detector facilities are being developed at VECC as part of the superconducting cyclotron utilization programme (SUCCUP). Current status of these upcoming facilities will be presented. Moreover, some of the recent experiments performed using part of these facilities and alpha beams from K130 machine will be presented.
