Accelerating radioactive ions to several MeV/u opens up new interesting experimental fields in nuclear physics. To produce such beams at the ISOLDE facility at CERN REX-ISOLDE will post-accelerate the existing radioactive ion beams from 60 keV to up to 2.2 MeV/u. For an efficient use of the continuous ISOLDE beam an ion buncher system has been set up. It consists of a large gas filled Penning trap for accumulation and a pulsed release of the ions, allowing cooling and purification of the beam as well.
