1. The Future of EURISOL Results from the Design Study
Initiatives for the Future
We acknowledge the financial support of the European Community under the FP6 “Research Infrastructure Action - Structuring the European Research Area” EURISOL DS Project Contract no RIDS . The EC is not liable for any use that can be made of the information contained herein.

2. The Current European Situation
The Previous LRP
NuPECC recommends the construction of 2 ‘next generation’ RIB infrastructures in Europe, i.e. one ISOL and one in-flight facility. The in-flight machine would arise from a major upgrade of the current GSI facility: FAIR, while EURISOL would constitute the new ISOL facility
The Current European Situation
Construction of intermediate generation facilities: SPIRAL2, HIE-ISOLDE, SPES and of FAIR has begun or is about to begin.
Design and prototyping of the most specific and challenging parts of EURISOL has been carried out in the framework of EURISOL_DS.
EURISOL must go beyond FAIR and offer the best of both worlds : ISOL and Fragmentation

12. Design of the post-accelerator
SPIRAL-2 philosophy : Smoothest beam dynamics (regular FDO lattice, low number of -sections), Modular solution and simple cryostats, Separated vacuum (safety with FP), Warm focusing (easier for alignement), Possibility to insert diagnostics at each period, ease of tuning
Main technical requirements:
Only 2-gap cavities (high q/A acceptance)
Max. accelerating fields 7.8 MV/m
Nominal operation for A/Q between 4 and 8

17. Timescale for EURISOL
: Transition period; contacts with funding agencies and political bodies
2012 : Application to be included in ESFRI list (support from NuPECC & LRP necessary)
2013 : Call for preparatory phase
: EURISOL Preparatory Phase
: Preparation of TDR
: Construction
2025 : First Beam

18. The “Transition” Period (2010-2013)
The EURISOL project office: Y.B., Peter Butler, Alberto Facco, Marek Lewitowicz
The EURISOL collaboration: (MOU between all laboratories interested in furthering EURISOL; in preparation)
The EURISOL User Group (Established with elected executive committee; will federate scientific community and update physics case; A. Bonaccorso, chair )
The EURISOL Network in ENSAR (included in ENSAR application; will coordinate EURISOL focused R&D at current facilities and fund Town Meetings; 150 KE; leader Y. Blumenfeld)
The EURISOL work package in TIARA : (included in TIARA application; Define and Prepare R&D platforms for EURISOL; up to 500 KE; leader S. Bousson – Orsay)
Requests to NuPNET for pan-European funded R&D through national funding agencies (approx 1ME each – at most 1 to be funded)
Liquid metal target tests
Beam splitter
ECRIS beam merger
EC support for global projects: Possibility of EC support up to 1 ME to expand EURISOL into a global (worldwide) project; suggestion from Brussels still to be investigated.
