Numerous avenues of development are being pursued to expand the capabilities of the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) beyond the CERN Long Shutdown 2. To improve the reach of the solid-state laser system and offer greater flexibility during ionization scheme development, promising progress in the extending of the spectral range of the existing titanium-sapphire lasers through...
This presentation will give you an overview of the Long Shutdown 2 work carried out on the REX and HIE ISOLDE post-accelerator. The repaired Cryo Module 4 which was taken out at the beginning of the year will come back to ISOLDE in 2020 with all five accelerating SRF cavities working. This will increase the total deliverable energy of the HIE ISOLDE Linac. An overview will be given of the...
The long shutdown 2 (LS2) of the CERN accelerator complex poses an ideal opportunity to focus on development and upgrade tasks.
Of particular interest are systematic studies for beam development that requires infrastructure and resources otherwise occupied or interrupted by target production. In this context, we have ramped up the investigation of molecular beams, where stabilizing the...
Over the past decades, ISOLDE has proven to be able to produce a big range of ion beams, spread over more than 70 different elements. However, ion beams of refractory or highly reactive elements are still very difficult to deliver. In particular, no beam of actinium has ever been investigated at ISOLDE. This is in part due to the expected poor release of this element and from how it may...
