The ISOLDE Facility at CERN produces radioactive beams through fission, spallation and fragmentation reactions induced by 1.4 GeV protons from the PS booster. By a clever combination of target and ion source unit intense and pure beams of 700 different nuclei of 75 elements are produced and delivered to experiments where the properties of the nuclei are determined. Since more than a decade it...

The TSR will be the first low-energy storage ring at an ISOL-type radioactive beam facility [1]. Specifically, we intend to setup the heavy-ion, low-energy ring TSR at the ISOLDE facility in CERN, Geneva. Such a facility will provide a capability for experiments with stored secondary beams that is unique in the world. The envisaged physics programme is rich and varied, spanning from...

A number of machine related aspects of the TSR@ISOLDE initiative at its present stage will be presented, for instance the interfacing of the ring with the HIE-ISOLDE linac and a tentative layout of experimental areas will be introduced. The results from the recently concluded extensive integration study covering the technical aspects of the move and integration into the CERN accelerator...

In the talk the feasibility of TSR@Isolde experiments will be represented. It will be discussed how -many ions are necessary to conduct in ring decay experiments to determine the half-life of 7Be. In connection with this experiments the detection limit of Schotty noise analyses will be discussed. Based on the Schottky noise detection limit long-lived isomeric states experiments are...

Heavy-ion storage rings coupled to radioactive-ion beam facilities allow for a wide range of physics experiments.
One of such experiments is the investigation of radioactive decays of highly-charged ions.
The latter offer the unique possibility to study, e.g., weak decays of clean well-defined quantum systems, exotic decay modes that are disabled in neutral atoms, or investigate the decay...

Plans for in-ring nuclear structure studies using TSR The peculiar characteristics of ion beams orbiting in a storage ring offer interesting opportunities for nuclear structure studies. Nuclear reactions would exploit the superior energy resolution which could be achieved by the combination of a cooled beam and the use of a gas jet target. This would allow detailed measurements on nuclei where...

The push to study the properties of nuclei far from stability has led to a renewed interest in the use of direct reactions motivated by both nuclear structure and astrophysics. This talk will discuss some of the the experimental requirements for performing direct reaction studies using extracted beams from the TRS. The potential of a solenoidal spectrometer system will be assessed by...
