CERN builds radical new tool to decode rare atomic nuclei
Scientists at CERN have developed a novel spectrometer that dramatically improves the precision of studying exotic radioactive atoms—opening doors to breakthroughs in nuclear physics and materials science. The advance could accelerate research into next-generation energy sources and medical applications that depend on understanding unstable isotopes.
Originaltitel: An innovative Superconducting Recoil Separator for HIE-ISOLDE
<p>The ISOLDE Scientific Infrastructure at CERN offers a unique range of post-accelerated radioactive beams. The scientific program can be improved with the "Isolde Superconducting Recoil Separator" (ISRS), an innovative spectrometer able to deliver unprecedented (A, Z) resolution. In this paper we present an overview of the physics and ongoing technical developments.</p>
