ECOS REPORT: Describe the research perspectives at EU with high
intensity stable ion beams, categorize existing facilities and
identify the opportunities for a dedicated new facility in EUROPE
HIGH INTENSITY STABLE ION BEAMS IN EUROPE ECOS: European
Collaboration on Stable ion Beams.
(http://www.ensarfp7.eu/project/ecos) Expert working group of the
Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee (NuPECC) The
long-term goal for a new dedicated high intensity stable ion beam
facility in Europe, with energies at and above the Coulomb barrier,
is considered to be one of the important issues to be discussed in
the next Long Range Plan of the nuclear physics community. IV:
Concluding remarks and recommendations
Slide 3
ECOS-LINCE: a proposal for building a new EUROPEAN FIRST CLASS
High intensity heavy-ion accelerator for stable ions, with energies
at and above the Coulomb barrier. Today: working towards a detailed
physics program & configuration of the facility: - Research
program for fundamental physics and applications - Accelerator
devices -Spectrometers/fragment separators Preliminary physics
program based on the original ECOS report (and more): Nuclear
structure at low, medium and high spin Reaction mechanisms Charge
exchange reactions Isomers Ground state properties Nuclear
astrophysics Superheavies Nuclear equation of state (EOS) and
symmetry energy Fundamental physics (e.g: neutrinoless double-beta
decay) To be proposed as an ESFRI facility Carry out studies
demanding high intensity stable beams and/or long run experiments
(months of continuous beam time!)
Slide 4
Main characteristics (as proposed today): -Light and heavy ion
accelerator, from protons to Uranium - High Intensity: ~ 1 mA beam
intensity at target eg., 48 Ca (8+) ~ 10 pA - Energies up to 50 -
200 MeV/u. ECOS-LINCE: a FIRST-CLASS EUROPEAN facility: Involve
accelerator community to design a NEW facility, a step forward to
present EU heavy-ion facilities Use latest leading edge
technologies developed in the design of last generation of
heavy-ion facilities worldwide (and spectrometers/fragment
separators ): USA: ATLAS upgrade (ANL, Chicago), FRIB (Michigan)
JAPAN: RIKEN (Tokyo), KURRY (Kyoto) EUROPE: CERN/LHC (Geneva),
EURISOL (study), SPIRAL2 p1-p2 (Caen), FAIR (Darmstadt), SPES
(Legnaro)
Slide 5
Multiuser facility: LINCE must provide 7000 hours of
availability/year, with high stablity and reliability for long run
experiments: ~ 5000 hours for ECOS science and 2000 hours for
Applications. VERY STABLE AND RELIABLE MACHINE CONCEPT Main
characteristics: CW LINAC, energy up to 10 MeV/u (Range: protons 45
MeV, 238 U @ 8.5 MeV/u). Based on superconducting QWR cavities
and/or CH structures. SYNCHROTON, energy up to 50 MeV/u - 200 MeV.
Based on FFAG (superconducting cavities & magnets). Full-SC ECR
ion source for high-charged & high-intensity ion beams (eg, 238
U @ 34+). High stability and reliability. CW RFQ for 1 A/q 7 (room
temperature). High resolution magnetic spectrometer.

ECOS-LINCE: Possible European Sites ANY REGION AT THE
UNION!!
Slide 13
Possibilities of LINCE in Spain Spain has no dedicated nuclear
physics facility: boost visibility and impact of Nuclear, Particle,
Astroparticle physics communities. LINCE is an opportunity to build
in Spain an European facility with the support of NuPECC and
European Labs, taking advantage of structural EU funding. (Example:
ELI-NP at Romania). A young and dynamic group in
accelerators/instruments is being formed in Spain (CONECTA). Very
strong support from Spanish High-Technology Companies and
Industrial associations (INEUSTAR, FOE, AIQBE, etc): Technology
transfer & technological return Improve competiveness in the
international markets, and in particular nuclear and particle
physics projects for international collaborations (CERN, FAIR, ILC,
ESS, etc). National needs of industry (Aerospace, Medicine,
Materials,) Why not Andalusia/Huelva? Convergence European
