European Isotope Separation On-Line
Radioactive Nuclear Beam Facility
The EURISOL project is one of the 5 Research and Technical Development (RTD) projects in Nuclear Physics selected for support by the EU. The project is aimed at completing a
preliminary design study of the next-generation European ISOL radioactive nuclear beam (RNB) facility.
The resulting facility is intended to extend and amplify, beyond 2010, the exciting work presently being carried out using the first-generation RNB facilities in various scientific disciplines
including nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics and fundamental interactions. Careful design and developments will be needed to increase the variety and the number of exotic ions
available per second to be provided for research, beyond the limits of presently available facilities.

For hands-on maintenance, the generally accepted figure is a particle loss < 1 W/m
For the SPL, 10 nA/m (10-6/m) @ 100 MeV, 0.5 nA/m (10-7/m) @ 2 GeV
Present Linac2 loss level (transfer line): 25W/80m = 0.3 W/m (but hot spots at > 1 W/m !)
Mechanism of beam loss in the SPL: 1. H- stripping < 0.01 W/m in quads for an off-axis beam 2. Residual gas < 0.03 W/m @ 10-8 mbar, 2 GeV (but 0.25 W/m @ 10-7)

2. Advantages for the LHC beam (shorter filling time, more margin for the injectors, opens the way for an LHC upgrade)
3. Many advantages for the users of secondary beams (factor 1.8 in flux for CNGS, factor 2 for ISOLDE, improvements for AD and n-TOF).

Roadmap (1)Roadmap (1)CERN contextCERN context
“The R&D budget for future detectors and accelerators foreseen in the 2002-2005 MTP and for the subsequent years to 2010 is reduced in total by 54.2 MCHF making thus available 26 MCHF for the completion of the upgrade of the injectors. The materials budget for R&D during the period 2003-2006 will therefore be limited to around 3.8 MCHF per year. For the time being, similar figures are also foreseen, for the years 2007-2010. Direct manpower involved in accelerator R&D is kept over the next 8 years at about 30 CERN staff and 5 fellows and associates, full time equivalent per year.
It should be stressed that the above is a minimal programme of Accelerator R&D especially for an accelerator laboratory of the importance of CERN. Its narrowness and limitations can only be justified by the present severe budgetary problems facing CERN. Efforts will be made to enhance the synergies in accelerator R&D with other Laboratories by enlarging the scope of ongoing collaborations and by setting up new ones.
In the years 2002-2004 about 90 % of the accelerator R&D resources will go to the construction of the CTF3 facility for CLIC...
R&D work on components for the front-end of a Superconducting Proton Linac (SPL) will continue with limited funds until the first phase of CTF3 is completed and the testing of high-gradient accelerating structures is well advanced. From then on, the sharing of resources between CLIC and SPL work might evolve as a function of the results technically achieved and of the contribution of the collaborations with other Laboratories. The work on the SPL front-end is carried out within the framework of collaboration for powerful H -- sources among seven European laboratories and with IN2P3/CEA for a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) device…”
