EURISOL

• Design Study finished: ~400 person-yrs, ~ 33M€ - (documents/report available on www.eurisol.org)

The “Transition” Period (2010-2013)

• The EURISOL project office: Overall coordination of EURISOL related actions Yorick Blumenfeld (chair), Alberto Facco, Marek Lewitowicz, PVD • The EURISOL collaboration: MoU between all laboratories interested in EURISOL (in preparation)

- update/shape the physics case/instrumentation - perform further R&D for RIB production/acceleration - contact with funding and political bodies - EURISOL on the ESFRI list and EURISOL Preparatory Phase

• The EURISOL User Group and the EURISOL Network in ENSAR: - EURISOL User Group will federate scientific community and update physics case; elected executive committee: A. Bonaccorso, chair

- EURISOL Network focuses on R&D at current facilities and fund workshops and town meetings; 105 k€; leader Y. Blumenfeld

- Task1: R&D coordination (Y. Kadi) - Task 2: Physics & Instrumentation (A. Bonaccorso)

- Workshops/topical meetings – town meetings: - Catania 9-11 December 2009 – Nuclei in the r-process region (~40 part.) (http://www.df.unipi.it/~angela/top_all_19dic.pdf)

- Valencia 21-23 February 2011 – N=Z region (~70 part.) - Lisbon Fall 2012: town meeting and topical meeting on light nuclei - CERN, Geneva: June 27-28, 2011: EURISOL-NET on R&D coor. - 2013: topical meeting - 2014: Final town meeting

The “Transition” Period (2010-2013)

• The EURISOL work package in TIARA: - Define/Prepare R&D platforms for EURISOL (270 k€, S. Bousson – Orsay) • Requests to NuPNET: R&D through National Funding Agencies (see also S. Gales: NuPECC meeting Paris): - Three proposals submitted: Accelerators – Charge Breeding – Target-Ion Sources systems (requested 1.25 M€)

Facility Characteristics

based on proven technology (largely based on experience at ISOLDE and TRIUMF)

can deliver: pure RIB: selective ionization, chemistry, M/DM > 10.000 intense RIB (x100 compared to the present ISOLDE ‘standard’ RIB) RIB of good ion optical quality optimal experimental conditions/lay-out/support (green-field facility!) extended beam times with stable operation

complementary to ISOL and In-Flight facilities

=> unique possibilities for experiments that: − need very high statistics − involve many time consuming systematic measurements − hunt for very rare events − have an inherent limited detection efficiency

ISOL@MYRRHA Project at SCK•CEN

• ISOL@MYRRHA is an integral part of the MYRRHA project Delivery of the proton beam by MYRRHA Support by ISOL@MYRRHA in house group at SCK•CEN

• Building an international users group Workshops on R&D for RIB production and the physics case (update)

• Search for national and international support: ISOL@MYRRHA consortium
