Description
The process of replacing the beam dumps at ISOLDE presents a unique upgrade opportunity that would significantly increase the capability and capacity of the facility. This workshop was initiated to bring together members of the ISOLDE User community and CERN responsible teams to exchange ideas on the possible future upgrades of the ISOLDE facility. Any significant upgrade in the infrastructure at ISOLDE will require financial input from the partner countries in the ISOLDE Collaboration. This will necessitate a well-defined project including the preparation of a Conceptual Design Study and report, which will allow the community to apply for funding of sub-projects of EPIC. One of the goals of this workshop is to define working groups to prepare the Conceptual Design Study covering both the technical requirements and scientific justification. This presentation briefly summarizes the main aspects of EPIC, along with a summary of the conclusions of the workshop and outline the next steps.
