19. FEBIAD ion source development at ISOLDE: efficiency improvement for all the elements

Mr Liviu Constantin Penescu (CERN)

Within the Marie Curie “HIGHINT” project a detailed study of the FEBIAD ion sources has been done at ISOLDE. As a result, two FEBIAD prototypes have been proposed and successfully tested. For the noble gases, the ionization efficiency was this way increased by about a factor 9, which allowed the identification of the new isotope 229Rn at ISOLDE. Due to this development, an increase of the...

8. The REX low-energy toolbox

Anna Gustafsson (CERN)

Over the last few years the low-energy part of REX, consisting of a Penning trap and Electron beam ion source, has developed from a pure bunching and charge-breeding system to an elaborate set of tools that can be used for different purposes. For instance, half-life determination of 38Ca directly after the trap by making use of the molecular beam cleaning method, as well as providing single...

38. HIE-ISOLDE: news from the other side

Richard Catherall (CERN)

19/11/2008, 12:30

The increase in proton beam intensity, due to the both completion of Linac 4 and a change in the basic period of the PSB cycle, is an essential criterion for the success of the full HIE-ISOLDE project. In order to accommodate a possible 10µA proton-beam to ISOLDE, a complete overhaul of the existing target area infrastructure is required. A factor of 5 proton-beam increase inevitably leads to...
