Upgrades to the current ISOLDE facility
- Richard Catherall (CERN)
ISOLDE beam time is a precious resource for which the annual demand exceeds the amount that is available. Generally, at any one time, ISOLDE is a single USER facility with the exception of the GLM and GHM beam-lines at GPS which can be used in parallel with HRS operations. One major limitation preventing parallel delivery of the HRS and GPS beams to experimental setups downstream the merging...
The contribution will describe the project organisation put in place for the upgrade of the ISOLDE GPS and HRS beam dumps. This challenging project will allow an increase of the proton beam power to ISOLDE. It will require the partial removal of earth shielding covering the target area. For the first time since 1991, when Booster-ISOLDE was built, it will be possible to access the faraday...
With the continuous development of experimental techniques at radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities, the demand for high quality ion beams is ever increasing. Significant isobaric contamination levels commonly present in RIBs have proven to be a major challenge, preventing the study of the most exotic isotopes produced at low energy branches of RIB facilities. Furthermore, as the study of...
