The main goal of the SPES project at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro of INFN (Italy) is to provide an accelerator system to perform forefront research in nuclear physics by studying nuclei far from stability. The SPES project is based on the production of neutron-rich radioactive nuclei in the mass range 80 to 160, by the fission of uranium at the rate of 10{sup 13} fission/s. The Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) will be produced by the Isotope Separator On Line (ISOL) technique using the proton-induced fission in a uranium carbide target. The energy of the radioactive beams on target will range from a few MeV/u up to 10 MeV/u for A = 130 using the existing ALPI linac as the post-accelerator.
