Description
The activities related to the development of new radioactive ion beams at ISOLDE will be reviewed, with an emphasis on high power targetry. Some items wil be more precisely presented. New submicrometric and nanomaterials are under development at ISOLDE and within the EURISOL Design Study. Their use will be illustrated with the delivered 21Mg and 17F beams produced with pure submicrometric SiC targets. Post-irradiation analysis of the target material has started. Preserving good extraction efficiencies when dealing with high incoming primary driver beams is a challenging task. A prototype testing the characteristics of a multibody target unit linked to a single FEBIAD ion source has been operated for the first time this year at ISOLDE. This test opens up the possibility of accommodating 100kW incoming primary beam driver while preserving compact target characteristics and good ionization efficiencies.
