Physics

On HRS, ISOLTRAP aimed to measured 96Cd located in the 100Sn region. The expected yield was 1 counts per 2 hours, so it was expected to be a very difficult run where everything had to work well. The target was a prototype with very good temperature gradient, with adapted pieces to get rid of as much background as possible in the region of interest and this was very successful. However, due to the extreme sensitivity of this run, there were a lot of RILIS interventions of RILIS. Finally, only 4 counts were collected on the isotope of interest (in 4 shifts where everything was thought to work fine). All in all, the users were happy with the progress, despite not getting a significant amount of statistics.
