Description
The increasing need for cold and bunched radioactive beams for nuclear physics
experiments has motivated the development of new methods, instrumentation and devices
for ion beam manipulation. A radio frequency quadrupole ion cooler and buncher is an
example of such devices, presenting features that make it suitable for many radioactive
ion beam facilities. The ISOLDE ion cooler (ISCOOL), in particular, was tailored to
be a general purpose device. It is planned to be integrated with the existing beam
optics equipment at the High Resolution Separator (HRS), in order to deliver better
quality beams in terms of emittance and energy spread, both in continuous and bunched
modes. Prior to its on-line installation the cooler is being intensively tested to
assess its performance and reliability. The off-line results presented here strongly
suggest that ISCOOL will meet the standards necessary for on-line operation. Some
physics experiments should soon directly or indirectly benefit from its capabilities.
