Description
At ISOLDE, CERN, an online test bench is dedicated to charge breeding
experiments with the Daresbury Phoenix booster ECR ion source. The
investigation of the 1+ --> n+ scenario for next generation ISOL post-
accelerators is ongoing for one more year, with charge breeding of stable and
radioactive elements. Many technical developments have been undertaken to
improve the flexibility of operation (60kV upgrade), as well as to reduce the
background (vacuum improvement, calculations for an isotopic separator).
Whether the ECR test bench will evolve towards a permanent setup still
remains an open question. An overview of what has been achieved up to now
with the ECR will be given, and possibilities for physics with the charge breeder
will be discussed.
