Status of the REX-ISOLDE project

Abstract

The physics that can be addressed using accelerated high-quality radioactive beams has the potential of becoming a main field of study for nuclear physics in coming years. Consequently several projects have been undertaken, around the world, aiming at eventually providing a high-intensity radioactive beam facility. REX-ISOLDE is one such pilot project. Its aim is primarily to test a new concept for post-acceleration of 1+ radioactive ions produced by the already existing on-line isotope separator, ISOLDE, at CERN and to address the physics questions that can be covered by accelerating these ions to an energy ranging from 0.8 to 2.2 MeV/u. The REX post-accelerator includes some ideas that are new to this field. A coupled Penning trap and Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) are used for bunching, cooling and charge breeding of the exotic ion-beam coming from the ISOL facility. The ion-beam is subsequently injected via a mass separator of the Nier type into a short LINAC comprising an RFQ, an IH structure, and three 7-gap resonators. The first tests of this concept have been carried out. The present status of the project is addressed and the experience drawn from the first tests is given.
