2 ISOLDE Facility ISOLDE is the CERN radioactive beam facility Nuclei produced via reactions of high intensity high energy proton beam with thick and heavy targets. Provides low energy or post-accelerated exotic beams Around 50 experiments per year targets BelgiumCERN Denmark Sweden Slovakia United Kingdom Finland France Germany Ireland Norway Poland Greece Italy India Romania Spain South Africa

16 Scattering chamber on XT02

17 1 st beam delivered: 22 nd October st beam of 74 Zn 25+ to HIE-ISOLDE Afterwards on 76 Zn HOWEVER: Special beam permit: operation of cryomodules only during working hours, and not during weekend, power coupler unstable and was heating after extended operation. Also 9-gap amplifier non-optimal. Stability of the lasers allowed for night-time operation of Zn opportunistic REX (2.85MeV/u) run during off-hours. Heavy load on the operators but greatly appreciated by the users. Demonstration of machine, but impractical for normal useage.

21 Installation work: 2016 Removal of original CM for repair. Installation of 2 nd CM RE-installation of original CM Difficult cooling down period, many issues with cryoplant, H20 pollution/air leaks/compressor (4 week delay) Problem with two cavities. Short circuit on solenoid in CM1, but had been dealt with. HOWEVER: no heating of RF coupler 24/7 operation

22 2016 REX Start-up Consolidation of the vacuum cryo compressor pumps REX machine now under vacuum (RFQ, IH, 7- and 9-Gap structures) New 9-Gap Amplifier has been installed 22

23 Physics campaign for 2016 Coordinator s burden: 42 experiments on the books 855 shifts outstanding Popularity growing: new proposals coming in all the time! LS2 ( ) staring us in the face.. Assuming a stable machine (i.e. 24/7 operation). Define priorities for 2016 Conclusions from HIE-ISOLDE users workshop 1st February approved proposals ask for beam time in 2016 won t be able to serve more than 7 - Full energy range of accelerator up to 6.0 MeV/u 5.5MeV/u - Mass range from 18 N up to 228 Ra intermediate masses - MINIBALL configuration for Coulomb excitation and transfer reactions will be installed for 2016 campaign going to go with C-REX - Combination with SPEDE is available after successful stable beam commissioning in summer 2016 tests continuing - High number of experiments should be provided to user community 6 possible (4 week cooling delay) Beams 2016: chosen for intensity, and ramping up of A/q etc 110Sn, 80Zn, 142Xe, 132Sn, 9Li, 66Ni

24 110 Sn 4.5MeV/u: Sept 9 th week of operation exceeded 2015 running hours (~ 3 weeks)

28 Phase 2: Assembly of CM3, to be installed in 2017

29 Summary and plans for 2017 Ongoing commissioning of ISOLDE solenoid spectrometer. 1 st experiment accepted. Installation on 2 nd beamline in winter 2017 along with completion of 3 rd beamline HIE ISOLDE phase one complete. First programme of experiments for 2016 now underway. In spite of some downtimes, producing interesting new data. 3 rd Cryomodule to be installed in Spring 2017 Aim to maximise the physics campaign in 2017.
