Abstract
| The High Intensity and Energy ISOLDE facility (HIE-ISOLDE) at CERN has unprecedentedly expanded the research capabilities to investigate the structure of the atomic nucleus and the nuclear interaction. In this context, to meet the high-resolution mass spectroscopy required by the HIE-ISOLDE physics program, an innovative spectrometer is currently being designed, the ISOLDE Superconducting Recoil Separator (ISRS). The ISRS is based on a compact storage ring formed of iron-free superconducting multifunction Canted-Cosine-Theta (CCT) magnets. In this contribution, we report on the current status of the ISRS design, paying special attention to its optics configuration and beam dynamics aspects. |
