Description
The HIE-ISOLDE project will provide beams of accelerated radioactive beams up to 10
MeV/u at CERN. The energy upgrade, carried out in two stages (the first stage will
give beams of 5.5 MeV/u), will be accompanied by major developments to the Isolde
target and front-end that will allow a 3-fold increase in the proton intensity
anticipated from LINAC4 and a faster PSB cycling frequency. The HIE-ISOLDE project
also demands development of the low-energy components of REX (charge breeder and
beam injection) as well as improved mass separation from a modified HRS. These
enhancements will allow the RIB facility at Isolde to be applied to a much wider
programme in nuclear physics and astrophysics than at present, as well as benefiting
the low energy programme (ground state properties and condensed matter
applications).
