The “Transition” Period (2010-2013) 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 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)

The “Transition” Period (2010-2013) 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€) Workpackage 9: Test Infrastructure and Accelerator Research Area

MYRRHA - Concept Total investment (estimation 2009): 960 M€ Sustainable fission energy: Accelerator Driven System (ADS) Fast neutron spectrum: neutron irradiated silicon Health care: production of radioisotopes for nuclear medicine Fundamental research: ISOL@MYRRHA

ISOL@MYRRHA Pre-Conceptual Design protons: 2-4 mA, CW, 600 MeV 2 gap Spoke 352 MHz 5 cell Elliptical 704 MHz Beam splitter 17 MeV 100 MeV 200 MeV 600 MeV ~ 100-200 mA, ~DC ISOL@MYRRHA Ruggedized target: e.g. Ta, UC/C Sustainable 1+ ion source: RFQ cooler and buncher Pure and intense RIBs of ~50-60 keV Low-resolution mass separator High-resolution mass separator

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
