1. TSR@ISOLDE Workshop, 10/2012 “The TSR@ISOLDE Project”
Klaus Blaum (MPI-Kernphysik, Heidelberg) and the Collaboration

2. The idea

3. A storage ring at an ISOL facility
Advantages
With respect to in-flight storage rings
High intensity
Cooler beams
With respect to “direct” beams
Less background (target, beam dump)
Improved resolution
CW beam

4. The history: 2001/2002 D. Habs/P. Thirolf: A recycling ring
for REX-ISOLDE
and MAFF.

5. The history: 2004

6. The history: 05/2010
Discussion between Klaus Blaum, Yorick Blumenfeld, Peter Butler,
Piet van Duppen, and Christoph Scheidenberger about a storage
ring (TSR) behind REX-ISOLDE.  Strong interest and excitement.

7. The history: 10/2010
+ strong support from F. Wenander

8. Some technical details
Typical storage energy for 12C6+: E = 72 MeV  6 MeV/u
Vacuum: ~10-11 mbar
Acceptance of the TSR: 120 mm mrad  well suited for REX-ISOLDE
Multiturn injection  mA of stored beam possible
Electron cooler  transverse cooling time of ~1s
RF acceleration and deceleration possible
Typical storage times: 21 MeV: 60 h
7 MeV: 16 s 73 MeV: 7470 s
202 MeV: 318 s
710 MeV: 23 s
Conclusion:
The TSR is ideally suited
as a storage ring at ISOLDE.

11. The history: 05/2012 A major milestone
Approval of TSR by CERN Research Board
CERN's Research Board gave skeleton* approval for allocating resources
to the TSR project (building and transfer line(s)).  The model for the
Implementation is to move the ring to CERN in 2015, run it as an experiment
for 3 years during which period CERN will investigate how to integrate it
into its accelerator infrastructure, with the aim to run it as a facility from
~2018. 
*The adjective "skeleton" means that the end date is fuzzy, and no
definite resources appropriation is made yet.
Thanks to Sergio Bertolucci, Paul Collier and Steve Myers
for their strong support!

19. Thanks It is amazing to see what a strong collaboration and
an excellent team can reach within less than two years.
I am sure (StorIS) will become a success
story. Thanks for the support from all of you!
