- Technical News and Experiments
- HRS : due to a leak in the injection septum of the PS, no proton beam to ISOLDE possible during daytime on monday and tuesday. Due to a technical stop which was moved forward in time, no beam on wednesday, incl the night and thursday morning. IS467 takes beta decay data on neutron rich Mn isotopes. A=61-69. very successfull so far.
- After the Mn run on LA1 (HRS), RILIS will change to Be for the REX run (IS430, GPS).
- GPS : 11Be(d,p)12Be with MINIBALL.
- A.O.B.
- New PhD student from CSNSM Orsay started to work in the beta NMR setup. Welcome to Christophe Sotty.
- We have Prof. Wolf-Dietrich Zeitz as a guest from (former) HMI to assist in the setup of the Beta NMR setup.
- Test with tilted foil setup and MINIBALL foreseen in Week 48.
- Next year : LHC will run the full year and 30-31 weeks of physics foreseen for ISOLDE, with (planned) technical stops (no beam) and machine developments.
- The HRS Front End will be installed (start January 2010) and commissioned this shutdown and consolidation is planned by the end of April 2010.
- ISOLDE workshop has received more than 40 abstracts.
- 2 separator courses will be organized. Alex sends out an email this week.
- Safety related : each experiment will have to fill out a safety file which will be available in EDMS next year. General clean up of the lightbuilding is needed again.
