Isotope Mass Separator ISOLDE (ISOLDE) (more info) goto TOP
The On-Line Isotope Mass Separator ISOLDE is a facility dedicated to the production of a large variety of radioactive ion beams for a great number of different experiments, e.g. in the field of nuclear and atomic physics, solid-state physics, life sciences and material science. The facility, located at the Proton-Synchrotron Booster (PSB) of CERN, is operated by the ISOLDE Collaboration. In May 1998 ISOLDE acquired the status of a Large Scale Facility within the TMR programme of the European Commission. The initial contract which ended in April 2000 is followed up by a new contract within the 5th framework programme of the EU, which offers an increased support for external users.

The advanced EXOTIC BEAM FACILITY at ATLAS (SPIRAL) (more info) goto TOP
The SPIRAL project at GANIL was funded in December 1993 by the IN2P3/CNRS, DSM/CEA and the Regional Council of Lower Normandy. The SPIRAL facility, based on the ISOL method provides for production and separation of RIBs, with subsequent acceleration by a K=265 cyclotron to energies between 1.7A and 25A MeV, thus opening up the study of nuclear reactions around the Coulomb barrier to radioactive ion beams.
