Experience with Maya@REX-ISOLDE (IS520) Problems encountered Beam contamination (12C in 12Be beam)→ Possibilities at HIE-ISOLDE: degraders, separators High instantaneous rateand correlation between particles→ Faster electronics to count beam→ Reduce beam signal (mask)→ Focus on off-beam tracks Lots of lessons learnt ACTAR at HIE-ISOLDE will work!
Beam requirements Instantaneous rate is a limit Creation of ionisation charges Count rate Actual limit ≈105-106pps inst. < 103pps • Spread the beam pulses as much as possible • Keep contaminationto a minimum • Divergence < 10 mrad • E resolution <1% • AstrophysicsEnergy < 0.7 MeV/nucleon
Setup and footprint In combination with the solenoid?
