The EURISOL Road Map

• Vigorous scientific exploitation of current ISOL
  facilities EXCYT, Louvain, REX/ISOLDE, SPIRAL
• Construction of intermediate generation
  facilities SPIRAL2, MAFF,HIE-ISOLDE, SPES
• Design and prototyping of the most specific and
  challenging parts of EURISOL in the framework of
  EURISOL_DS.

The Main Challenges

• Design a 5MW 1GeV proton driver with additional
  capability of 200 AMeV deuterons and A/Q2 Heavy
  Ions build and test prototypes of the cavities.
• Design a liquid Hg converter which will accept 5
  MW of beam power.
• Design a UCx target which will make the most
  efficient use of the neutrons produced.
• Evaluate the safety constraints of the above set
  up.
• Design an efficient multi-user beam distribution
  system.
• Design a superconducting HI LINAC capable of
  accelerating 132Sn up to 150 AMeV
• Investigate technologies for the instrumentation
  of the future
• Provide a conceptual study for a beta-beam
  neutrino facility.

A Slow Start

• Initial difficulties in recruiting post docs
• Spending for the first year was only 35 of first
  advance Second advance delayed by 1 year.
• Some delays in milestones
• Pace has picked up strongly in the second year
• Change of expenditure profile will be requested.
• Possible extension of contract by 6 months will
  be discussed in Spring 2007.

Possible Locations?
The Design Study will investigate the
implementation and cost of EURISOL in these 3
hypotheses by putting in place a committee in
Spring 2007, including the MB technical
coordinator experts. Report in Spring 2008

New research infrastructures in FP7

• Objective To help create new research
  infrastructures of pan-European interest (or
  major upgrades of existing ones)
• - Design studies to support feasibility studies
  for new infrastructures through a bottom-up
  approach of calls for proposals
• - Construction of new infrastructures (incl.
  major upgrades) to promote the creation of new
  infrastructures through a strategic approach
  based on the work conducted by ESFRI on the
  development of a European roadmap fro new
  research infrastructures
• ESFRI European Strategy Forum for Research
  Infrastructures

New research infrastructures in FP7

• Support to Construction via a two-stage process
• The preparatory phase
• - restricted calls targeting priority projects
  (based on the work of ESFRI)
• ? to support finalisation of construction plans,
  legal organisation, financial engineering,
  management aspects (Second call in 2009)
• The construction phase
• developed following the satisfactory
  implementation of the preparatory phase
• case by case approach (e.g. use of Article 171)

You are cordially invited to attend the EURISOL
DS Town Meeting at CERN on Nov.
27-28. Registration is open until Nov. 1 at
www.eurisol.org
For next year we are considering the possibility
of a joint Town meeting with EURONS
