The long shutdown (LS1) provided an opportunity for ionization scheme and ion source development for the ISOLDE resonance ionization laser ion source (RILIS), in addition to several upgrades to the general RILIS set up. Several of these results will be presented along with a summary of the current RILIS status.
New RILIS ionization schemes have been successfully developed and tested for...

During the LS1 a major safety upgrade was held at ISOLDE, the complete robotic system for the target exchange has been replaced. This upgrade was done in order to improve the operation and the safety of the facility. This presentation will explain the different phases of the project from the idea of upgrading the system to it final operation and although the future evolution of the system.

For more than a decennium REX-ISOLDE has been a key element at the ISOLDE radioactive beam facility. The post-accelerator consists of a Penning trap for bunching and cooling of the 1+ ions delivered from ISOLDE, an EBIS for charge breeding and a LINAC for the actual acceleration. It has delivered over 100 different radioactive radionuclides with an energy of a few MeV/u. While successful, the...

As part of the HIE-ISOLDE design study options for a new high-performance successor to the REXEBIS charge breeder have been investigated. In a parametric study based on the HIE-ISOLDE linac upgrade, and a possible future extension of HIE-ISOLDE by TSR@ISOLDE, a set of design requirements for the new breeder was elaborated.
In collaboration with the Advanced Ion Sources group at Brookhaven...

Future perspective for physics measurements at CERN-ISOLDE call for the use of molten metal targets to improve the yield of radioactive isotopes delivered to the experiments and better handle the high power density from the beam. CERN launched in 2012 an R&D project called LIEBE to investigate the feasibility of testing on line a Pb/Bi loop target compatible with the present installations at...

Financed by the European Commission within the Marie Curie Actions-ITN program, the CATHI (Cryogenics, Accelerators and Targets for Hie-ISOLDE) was launched in 2010 with the recruitment of 20 researchers; 11 of whom completed their training while working on different aspects of the HIE-ISOLDE Design Study. As the project terminates in 2014, their work will be collected in a final report that...
