Scientific report and nTOF• The ISOLDE Scientific Coordinator, Thomas Nilsson:

– overview of the 2003 operation – The renovated HRS front-end gives opportunity to operate the facility in

push-pull mode for the last 1.5 months of the 2003 operational period. – Planned upgrade of REX-ISOLDE to 3.1 MeV/u unlikely in 2003.

• The 2003 experiment campaign at nTOF, Alberto Mengoni: – Capture measurements had been performed for a large number of targets

until September– Fission measurements in progress. – The plans for 2004 is to install a 4p-calorimeter for further measurements

on actinides, pending the acceptance of a proposal to be submitted to the following meeting.

– Claude Detraz reiterated that the nTOF collaboration should consider its future plans, in conjunction with enlarging the user basis.

• Future of nTOF: single experiments or large collaboration (as ISOLDE)?

Technical report• Buildings:

– Extension building 170• Ready January 2005

– Class A lab, building 179• Ready autumn 2004

– Solid state physics laboratory• Part of building 170 extension

• Beam transport at ISOLDE– Beam delivered up to experiments – efficiency

gain!• HRS front-end

– Installed and operational!• REX integration

– Selection boards under preparation (2 done!)• Future EURISOL study

– Bid from ISOLDE AB and EP to participate– Leading role for target and ion source

development– Post accelerator, charge breeding and mass-

separators– Full beta-beam study integral part of EURISOL

• ISOLDE shutdown– Off-line running– New control system– Alignment– New EIC

Closed meeting INTC• New members: Tilman Butz, Hubert Doubre, Mark Huyse, Dieter Hilscher

and Francesco Priolo• Reports, the Committee expressed its satisfaction… (nTOF and ISOLDE)

– Integrated proton flux delivered to nTOF during 2003 according to expectations

– K. Langanke informed that the astrophysics community now is becoming increasingly aware of the existence and capabilities of the nTOF facility

• Approved 29 new shifts, approved 24 pending shifts• Letters of intent:

– Mercury target test for neutron spallation sources• Encouraged full proposal BUT outside normal ISOLDE schedule• AB division asked to investigate scheduling in the 2004-2006 period

and calculate the cost for 2 months– RFQ cooler for atomic physics

• Strongly encouraged to submit full proposal• UK grant application in progress to finance RFQ cooler

ISOLDE collaboration• Budget dedicated to hall extension and REX-ISOLDE

integration– Small provisions for User support and administration

• Decision on applying for external grants to replace the RILIS system with a solid state laser system (up to 2006 in stages)– Important savings for RILIS operation

• EU decision on EURONS proposal postponed to next year (2nd call of I3 but with preserved priorities from 1st call)– Consequences for budgeting of hall extension and REX integration

• Selection procedure for ISOLDE physics coordinator started – Decision for Friday 10 October

ISOLDE upgrade group• REX-star

– Low energy facility (below 300 keV/u) for solid state physics and astrophysics

– Plans of consultant (Heinz Haas) to be presented in December 2003• Targets, intensity upgrades

– R&D in progress, lacks 1.5 FTE and 500 Kchf for 10 microampere study• Radiation protection

– New limits for planned interventions, 6 mSV, creates problems!– Optimization of shielding and increased reliability fundamental for an

upgrade• AOB

– Technical Design Report to be prepared for the upgrade of the ISOLDE facility including the physics case (yellow report)

• Conge meeting!
