• Successfully tested different components (vacuum, TPC, trap electrodes)
  • Focus for next weeks: get beam permit, cooling magnet, take antiproton beam this summer
  • Design for transfer beamline between RC6 and PUMA main frame finished (consists of pulsed drift tube, quadrupole lenses and Einzel lenses)
  • RC7 and experimental zone was presented earlier to the ISOLDE integration meeting, zone needs power, cooling water, pressurized air
  • Proposed timeline: start beam at AD as soon as possible, installation of RC7 starting in summer, to be finished in Q4 2025, commissioning of RC6 and RC7 slated for Q1/2 in 2026, test transport or real transport planned for Q2/3 2026. -> co-activities during the earlier ISOLDE LS3 to be coordinated with the ISOLDE LS3 activities
