1. Status of EURISOL Yorick BLUMENFELD 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. 515768 RIDS. The EC is not liable for any use that can be made of the information contained herein.

2. 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 EUROPEAN PLAN The EURISOL Road Map Vigorous scientific exploitation of current ISOL facilities : EXCYT, Louvain, REX/ISOLDE, SPIRAL Construction of intermediate generation facilities: SPIRAL2, HIE- ISOLDE, SPES Design and prototyping of the most specific and challenging parts of EURISOL in the framework of EURISOL_DS.

3.

10. Schematic lay-out Target-ion sources Pre-separators, beam gates Ion cooling and bunching High-resolution separators Charge breeding: EBIS and ECR q/m selection Electrostatic deflection Post-acceleration and Experimental areas Beam preparation lay-out:  Two complete beam preparation chains  Two parallel mass-purified beams for on-line experiments  Two charge breeders:  EBIS (fast, low capacity, low background, narrower charge state distribution, provides intensity also for light elements)  ECR (slow, high capacity, high background, access to intense beams including stable ones)  Modular (easy to expand)  Robust (electrostatic deflectors without moving parts)

11. 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 Design of the post-accelerator

15. Possible Locations? The Site Investigation Panel (chaired by Alan Shotter) will investigate the implementation and cost of EURISOL in these 3 hypotheses

16. Time scales Project definition Construction Exploitation 2005 2007 2009 2012 2020 FAIR

17. Why a EURISOL User Group? To build up an identifiable User Community for EURISOL To continuously update the EURISOL Physics Case; while Task 10 will now mainly concentrate on instrumentation. To continue to furnish input to the EURISOL concept after the end of the DS To interact with the user communities of the current ISOL facilities.

18. Goals of this week Updating of the Physics Case Putting EURISOL in perspective with the other worldwide initiatives. Examining the current technical solutions in the light of the physics requirements (Thursday morning) Discussing the practical organization and future actions of the UG in the framework of the future of EURISOL (Wednesday, 14:30-16:00)
