CERN Accelerating science

Wednesday 25 January
PARTICLE PHYSICS SEMINAR

at 17.00 hrs - Stückelberg Auditorium

Highlights from the ISOLDE facility

The ISOLDE online mass separator located at CERN provides a wide variety of radioactive ion beams for research on nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, condensed matter and others fields. The facility maintains an extensive physics-driven target and ion source development programme, which has helped ISOLDE keep its international status throughout decades. The low-energy programme is complemented by research performed with accelerated radioactive ion beams. This has been made possible by the REX-ISOLDE post-accelerator, which has opened up new fields of study by means of transfer reactions and Coulomb excitation of exotic nuclei.

ISOLDE is integrated in the European research structure through the EURONS (EUROpean Nuclear Structure) infrastructure initiative, and plays a key role in the design study of the future European third-generation ISOL radioactive ion beam facility, EURISOL. In this context, the presentation will highlight recent ISOLDE scientific achievements and technical developments together with an outlook to future upgrades.
