  1. Advances in radioactive ion beam R&D at GANIL P. Delahaye, GANIL

  2. Talk overview • Radioactive acceleratedbeamsat GANIL • Present performances of SPIRAL • Metallic ions beams • SPIRAL FEBIAD beams • SPIRAL 2 Laser ion source • Charge breeding: The EMILIE project • collaborative efforts towards EURISOL

  3. ISOL @ GANIL: SPIRAL

  4. 3 kW 1,5 kW Radioactive acceleratedbeams Present GANIL facility Targets Production cave LIRAT A. Prost driving kart in the early 1970’s CIME Post-acceleration Of radioactive ions CIME: « Cyclotron d’ions de moyenne énergie » He Up to 20 AMeV CSS2 CSS1 Acceleration Stable ions Heavy ion sources Ne, Ar, Kr, N, O, F Heavy ion fragmentation on graphite targets 12C to 78Kr up to 95AMeV

  5. REX-ISOLDE commemoration • What REX-ISOLDE isNOT • REX does not use an ECR ion source • It almostdidconsiderit! (2003-2008) • SPIRAL @ GANIL alreadydoes and will! • REX does not use a CW post-accelerator • But a pulsed LINAC • SPIRAL and SPIRAL2 @ GANIL (will) do! • HIE-ISOLDE might use a CW LINAC too! Comparison of charge breeding techniques during FP6

  6. Cold transfertube He, N, O, F, Ne, Ar, Kr ECR multi-ionization in Nanogan 3 • Better ionisation efficiencies for gases! Highlyselective!! A. C. Villari et al., Nuclear Physics A 787 (2007) 126c–133c To the cost of universality

  7. Post-acceleration in CIME • The cyclotron has an intrisichigh mass resolving power • R=m/dm usually5 103 to 104 • It is a CW machine • It goes up to 20AMeV! With the correct A/q • BUT complicated injection: 30% efficiency CIME workingdiagram

  8. The past… and the future!Metallicbeams: a ‘hot topic’ for SPIRAL • Metallic (+ halogen + non metallic) elements • effusion times from ISOL targets are usually a penalty compared to rare gases • High ionizationefficienciesrequirededicateddevelopments (FEBIAD or RILIS), whereas for rare gasesalmostany ECRIS can do the job • N+ beams for post-acceleration • SPIRAL concept: 0 to n+ ionizationefficiencies are veryhigh for rare gases • BUT application to metallicbeams not straightforward as ECRIS are cold wall sources • 1+ n+ (=charge breeding) worksfairlywellwith EBIS but pulsedbeams (not suited to GANIL experiments) • 1+ n+ with ECRIS workswell in CW evenwithhighintensities but severalweaknesses: • Comparablylower charge states • Beampurity not guaranted • Lowefficiencieswith light metallicbeams: <5% up to K

  9. Metallic ion beams • Metallicbeams @ SPIRAL

  10. 1+ N+ solution Present system 0 to n+ transformation Cold surfaces Onlygaseouselements 1+ to n+ transformation FEBIAD: 1+ beamsfrom condensable elementswithTfusion<2000°C Phoenix ECRIS: 1+ to n+ transformation FEBIAD ISOLDE M. Marie Jeanne, PhD thesis , UJF Grenoble, 2009

  11. FEBIAD source: VADIS from CERN Goal: first ionization of gases and condensable elements Technicalrequirement: Target and ion source surfaces T(K)>~2300 Coupling to the SPIRAL target Thermal Calculations FEBIAD + SPIRAL 1 target F.

Tests in SIRa • in May with58Ni@ 75 AMeV • in July with36Ar @95AMeV + Latest tests SPIRAL Target Twobeam times withslight changes Bellow (IPNO design) 2nd test beam time Metallicbeamsfrom a FEBIAD ion source FEBIAD ISOLDE Transfer tube wasreplaced by a new including a bellow Source isstillworking, lack of conditionning made lowefficienciesduring the beam time

  14. Deduced 1+ intensities 1st test PRELIMINARY 58Ni@75AMeV From Gamma line intensitiesat saturation Mostly >105pps! Despite the reliability and temperatures issues, the target ion source exhibits performances as good as one couldwish! Contains: Release efficiency(diffusion + effusion delays) Ionisation efficiency

  15. Deduced 1+ intensities 2nd test PRELIMINARY 36Ar@95AMeV From Gamma line intensitiesat saturation taken on line • Ionisation efficiency ~10% of the nominal • lack of conditioning time • misbehaving extraction optics • Monitoredwith20Ne and verifiedwith35Ar (radioactive)

  16. New elements to come… • Alreadymore beamsthanpresentlydeliveredat SPIRAL! • Most beams have projectedintensities > 106pps for 1.5kW primarybeam power Ionized as stable beams Ionised as radioactive beams Existingbeamsat SPIRAL Main milestones ● First 1+ beams ● First post-accelerated beams New beamsfrom FEBIAD (LIRAT, IBE): 2013 New beamsfrom Booster (CIME energies): end of 2014

  17. Outlook:b-n angularcorrelationsat LIRAT • A wide program of measurements • Up to 10 Tz=1/2 emittersavailablewithrequiredintensities (>107pps) • Vud values frommirror nuclides • New candidates for other types of measurements • Exoticcurrents in beta decay • Mass selection: MR-TOF spectrometer Support fromUniversity Greifswald (R.
