Description
The ISOLDE Facility at the CERN SC was closed in connection with the shut-down of the CERN SC on December 19, 1990 after about 23 years of operation. ISOLDE was given the opportunity to continue its activity in an external beam from the PS Booster. The new ISOLDE PSB Facility was inaugurated in the end of May 1992 after less than 18 months of construction. Very fast the scientific programme was also launched and already on at the end of June, 1992, the first successful experiment finished data taking. In this talk I shall give some examples on highlights in experiments and experimental techniques during the past 20 years that has brought ISOLDE to the world-leading facility we have today.
