The ISOLDE target and ion source units are manufactured on demand, following the specifications implied the physics schedule. The production of each target typically takes few days, but can also take up to weeks, depending on the complexity. After the units are manufactured, they are tested at the ISOLDE OFF-LINE mass separator before they are delivered to ISOLDE for irradiation. The OFF-LINE...
CERN’s long shutdown periods provide an ideal window of opportunity to revise and consolidate the ISOLDE Facility. The Long Shutdown period 2 (LS2) starts in December 2018 and terminates in December 2020 with protons to ISOLDE, under normal operating conditions, expected in April 2021. ISOLDE will use this time to prepare the facility for the next operational period and to address the backlog...
The Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) at ISOLDE continued its status as the most frequently used ion source at the facility in 2018, providing laser-ionized beams of 14 elements over 20 experimental runs. Additional beams were provided during a dedicated target and ion source development period. Highlights from the 2018 on-line period will be presented.
Experimentally, the...
Most commonly, ISOLDE uses positively charged ion beams produced by a variety of ion sources such as the positive surface ion source, the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) or the Forced Electron Beam Induced Arc Discharge (FEBIAD) ion source. In recent years, the availability of negative ion beams at ISOLDE was re-established and the development program of negative ion sources was...
