Description
CERN MEDical Isotopes Collected from ISolde (MEDICIS) is an offline separator under construction next to CERN ISOLDE, where targets parasitically irradiated at ISOLDE can be used to collect long-lived radioisotopes (min 1 hour half-life). The main goal of this facility is to provide a large catalog of radioisotopes to support the medical research on functional imaging and targeted radio-therapy. Other use of this facility may however be explored, especially in synergy for other research facilities at CERN (e.g Mössbauer, nToF).
