Motivation of REX-ISOLDE

Through the advent of post-accelerated beams with REX-ISOLDE at CERN, probing nuclear properties using transfer reactions and Coulomb excitation of exotic nuclear species is now possible. REX-ISOLDE currently provides beams of energies 0.28-0.32 MeV/u, 1.2-2.2 MeV/u and 2.2-3 MeV/u into the gamma-ray MINIBALL array, and other instrumentation setups at the secondary target position. REX-ISOLDE currently provides accelerated beams to two secondary target positions, including the HPGe gamma spectrometer, which in its present phase of operation has a full-energy peak efficiency of approximately 10% for a photon energy of 1 MeV.

Scheduled energy and intensity up-grades will increase the physics potential of ISOLDE even further. The energy upgrade can be considered in two phases: (1) to increase the energy to 5.5 MeV/u by 2011 that enables certain classes of nuclear reactions to be used on a wide range of nuclei and (2) further increase the energy to at least 10 MeV/u that will enable all reactions to be employed for all nuclei. See HIE-ISOLDE linac homepage for further information. The ISOLDE hall has been extended in order to house the additional linac cavity resonators and other instrumentation such as new recoil spectrometers for detection of fusion products.

Below one finds links to a few of the on-going experiments at REX-ISOLDE.
