– Multi-MW target station : liquid- mercury converter (CERN) – Direct target : Several target-ion source systems (CERN) – Fission target : UCx target optimization (INFN-LNL)

2 Accelerators (Synergies with HIPPI (CARE))– Proton accelerator design: the driver (INFN-LNL): – Heavy ion accelerator design: the post accelerator (GANIL)– SC cavity development: cavity prototypes and multipurpose cryomodule

(CNRS-IN2P3/IPNO)

3 Physics, beams and safety (Synergies with EURONS)– Physics and instrumentation: conceptual design of novel instruments (U-

LIVERPOOL)– Beam intensity calculations: yield optimization of RIB species (GSI)– Safety and radioprotection: radiation fields, activation, shielding, handling,

storage, conformity to legislation (CEA)

4 Beta-Beams Aspects (Synergies with BENE (CARE))– Beam preparation : breeders, 60 GHz ECR source (JYV) – Beta-beam aspects: conceptual design report of the Beta-Beam facility. It

includes preliminary studies on modifications of CERN accelerators in case the facility is sited at CERN ( CERN)

List of members of Coordination Board

INTERNATIONAL ADVISORY PANEL(appointed by the SC)

– It is composed of three Int. Experts covering the domains of RIB Science, accelerators and high power production targets

– It shall advice the SC on strategic and managerial aspects of the project, through the analysis of the activities implementation and the evaluation of the impact of the obtained results on the final objectives of the Design Study

– It may be consulted, any time, by the SC and MB on specific scientific and organizational aspects.

Design Study

The EURISOL-DS management informed that the EURISOL-DS week is planned from November 28 to December 1 at GANIL.

Officially the EURISOL-DS contract is operative from February 1st , even if the contract is not signed yet.

The budget will be available only after the signature of the contract (April/May?).

Home institutions can advance travel expenses and ask to be refunded when the budget will be available.
