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/Q=2 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.

Gathering the expertise in joint Management-Task meetings

• User Requirements– Post accelerator, beam preparation, physics– Orsay, May 2

• Extended Driver capability– Direct target, driver, cavities, beam intensity– GSI, May 5

• High Power target– Hg converter, fission target– Legnaro, Oct 4

• Fully functional dynamic website• Agenda and Minutes of 71 meetings• 60 Publications and internal reports• Official Documents, Annual Reports, Presentations ….• Automatic publication review procedure

• Full compliance by task leaders• Milestones and deliverables• Outreach Pages• …

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.

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 New research infrastructures in FP7infrastructures 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

From Alex Mueller

New research New research infrastructures in FP7infrastructures 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)

From Alex Mueller

You are cordially invited to attend the EURISOL DS Town Meeting at CERNon Nov. 27-28.Registration is open until Nov. 1 at www.eurisol.org

For next year we are considering the possibility of a jointTown meeting with EURONS
