WITCH: Weak Interaction Trap for
Charged Particles
S
V
Combination of Penning traps with MAC-E
filter:
- Production of a scattering free source
- Measurement of recoil energy
distribution after b-decay
 b-n angular correlation a
 Test of standard model complementary
to high energy physics
Best test case for WITCH 35Ar

Standardmodell der Teilchenphysik
WITCH Online Runs 2011/2012
First data sets with 35Ar taken 2011
Found several imperfections of the
WITCH system and worked on it
Took data in 2012 with statistics for a
precision of a few % precision for a of
35Ar
Still had hints for ionization in the
system
Data analysis and further offline tests
will reveal systematic effects

for modelling of the crust of
neutron stars

Helps to pin down nuclear models
to study the behavior of nuclei at
the extremes of stability
Multi-reflection time-of-flight mass separator
(MR-TOF MS) at ISOLTRAP experiment plus
detector as stand-alone system
Particles travel up to 34km before ejection
Direct time-of-flight mass measurements
become possible, ex. 54Ca (ISOLDE yield 10/s)
Excellent synergy between precision experiment
and current theoretical developments (A.
Schwenk, TU Darmstadt)

Near Future: HIE-ISOLDE Project
Energy Upgrade:
The HIE-ISOLDE project
concentrates on the construction
of the SC LINAC for postaccelerated radioactive ion
beams to 5.5 MeV/u in 2014 and
10 MeV/u by 2016
Beam Quality Upgrade:
RFQ cooler and buncher
Higher mass resolving power HRS
Intensity Upgrade:
The design study for technical feasibility
and cost estimate for operating the
facility at 15 kW once LINAC4 and PS
Booster are online.

Summary
ISOLDE offers a complementary technique to existing facilities in
Germany
ISOLDE remains a pioneering ISOL installation both at level of
designing and production of frontier physics
German groups obtained numerous scientific highlights at ISOLDE
in recent years
HIE-ISOLDE will bridge the gap to EURISOL
 higher energy and intensity of proton beam for more neutron-rich
nuclei
TSR@ISOLDE offers unique perspectives
