6. EURISOL MoU / EURISOL DF A MoU was created to launch a collaborative effort to continue the development of EURISOL R&D and Cost (Fee 3000 euros/ y) Parties: CERN, GANIL(2011), COPIN (Poland) (2012), BEC (Belgium) 12/7/2014, INFN(2014). Valid 3 years  July 2017. Future new members: Jyvaskyla, ALTO Steering Committee: M.J. G. Borge, M. Lewitowitz (project leader), A. Maj, L. Popescu, Sara Pirrone and A. Bracco (Nuppec Chair, ex-officio member) 6 EURISOL DF is a necessary intermediate and ambitious step for the scientific and technical aspects towards EURISOL. Enter in ESFRI list (3 countries) and obtain funds.  Plan for call 2018 To be defined:  Members: GANIL, ISOLDE, SPES (+ISOL@MYRRHA)  Small scale ISOL facilities: ALTO, Jyvaskyla Legal structure, coordination, responsibilities… CERN?

7. Towards EURISOL-DF WG1 Science and Application: Coordinator R. Raabe  Yorick Blumenfeld (Nuclear Physics ) & Thierry Stora (applications) WG2 Acceleration: Coordinator Alberto Facco  Fredrik Wenander / Alberto Rodriguez WG3 Beam Handling Coordinador M Borge WG4 Spectrometers and Detectors Coordinador: Herve Savajols  Tim Giles & Magda Kowalska / Elisa Rapisarda WG5 EURISOL-DF Relationships and Legal Structure coordinador Angela Bracco  M Borge 7 Goals of EURISOL-DF o Prepare a strong physics case for RIB science and application o Support, upgrade, optimize and coordinate Europena ISOL facilities towards EURISOL o Get EURISOL-DF on the ESFRI List as candidate project To prepare the case for Europe 5 working groups are created Timeline: First meeting working Group in September 2015 Text ready for June 2016

8. ISOLDE Towards EURISOL-DF 8 Concentrate in the Intensity, purity and emittance of the radioactive beams. Target + ION SOURCE  EBIS+REBUNCHER  HRS new design Design of new beam dumps to face the increase in energy  Cost estimated in 10 MCHF Implementation of the TSR as part of the Instrumentation  Study done  Cost estimated 15 MCHF Steps taken:  1. Preliminary discussion with DG-EU : Svetlomir Stavrev 17 oct 2014 Contact the Swiss representative to get their support. Prepare a 1 page description of the project for swiss. To be approved by Council.  Consult the CERN legal service, DG-LS: Eva Maria Groniger-Voss  Scientific Deputy Director: Sergio Bertolucci 6 Nov 2014 Most probably CERN cannot be member of ERIC

Slovakia Minister of Sciences has sent me a letter asking for the document to sign the MoU. South Africa is very close to get the signature, expected this year. Poland has organised an internal consortium and the application done to an annually official call will close September 2015. Problems with India and Greece contributions. Ireland hopes that the country will ask to become associate and
