The Beam Observation System of the Isolde Facility
نویسنده
چکیده
During the reconstruction of the ISOLDE on-line mass separator facility at CERN one of the goals was the development and implementation of an efficient and user friendly beam observation system. The pick-up devices used on the two mass separators and the beam lines are mainly Faraday cups, wire scanners and wire grids. Most of these items were specifically designed at ISOLDE, in particular, a linearly moving wire scanner. The controls, data handling and display are all integrated in the PC based control system and can be accessed under Windows like any other element of the entire machine. The strong points of this measuring system as well as the limitations of beam observation in a low energy radioactive beam facility are discussed.

Supported by an ERC Starting Grant, we are developing a new experimental technique to enhance the sensitivity of collinear laser spectroscopy (CLS) by a factor 20-600 in order to probe rare isotopes currently out of reach due to their low production yields at radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities. This novel approach is based on a multi-reflection time-of-flight apparatus (or also called electr...

متن کاملISOLDE past, present and future
The idea of production of short-lived radioisotopes with the on-line technique has it roots in the early 1950s. In 1964 this became a reality when CERN approved an experiment at the 600MeV proton synchro-cyclotron, the SC. The first experiments were performed in 1967 and since then the ISOLDE programme has gradually developed into a major undertaking. Since 1992 the ISOLDE Radioactive Beam Faci...
