Description
For many years the RFQcb (Radio-Frequency Quadrupole cooler buncher) has been a vital part of ISOLDE experiments and it has improved the beam optics of the HRS line significantly downstream. However, there is very little time and infrastructure available to test and quantify improvements made to the RFQcb's structure, tuning and bunching methods. The Offline 2 separator was proposed to allow for proper analysis of the RFQcb and many other areas of the ISOLDE beam, such as: target development, laser scheme testing and new beam optics methods. All of these are vital in keeping ISOLDE competitive in the ISOL facilities field. The current status of the ISOLDE RFQcb and progress on the construction of Offline 2 will be presented.
