At the ISAC facility at TRIUMF radioactive ions are produced by bombarding solid targets with 500 MeV protons from a cyclotron. With a proton beam current up to 100 micro Amps it is the ISOL facility with the highest beam power of the primary beam so far. The facility is operational for more than 10 years and a wide range of different target materials have been used combined with surface,...

The isotope pair 6He/18Ne has been suggested as the baseline isotopes for the Beta beams project [1]. The production of these isotopes has been studied within the EURISOL-DS project, where a top-down approach provided the need for the production of about 6x10^13 6He and 1x10^13 18Ne per second which would lead to rates of 2.9x10^19 anti-νe and 1.1x10^19 νe over a running period of 2 and 8...

The Target & Ion Source Development program (TISD) at CERN-ISOLDE aims at developing novel target materials and ion source concepts in order to provide beams that were not accessible previously in sufficient intensities at ISOLDE. During this running period, tests of a novel neutron converter design, nanocrystalline UCx and CaO targets, a liquid salt target, and a Helicon-type rf powered ion...

Today the Resonant Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) has developed to become the preeminent technique for production of rare isotopes, being interfaced to different kind of ISOLDE targets. Striking advantages are its universality, high ionization efficiency and unsurpassed elemental selectivity. Unavoidable surface ionization processes on the hot cavity surfaces of the ion source produce...

Spin-polarized nuclei are of great interest in many fields of physics, for example in nuclear structure, solid state and bio-physics. To reach this wide range of applications, an in-flight polarization technique based on the passage of ions through thin tilted foils has been investigated. This technique allows a beam of any non-zero spin nucleus to be polarized and post-accelerated. An...
