TRIμP — a Radioactive-Atom Trapping Facility at KVI

摘要

The TRIμP facility, under construction at KVI, requires the production and separation of short-lived and rare isotopes. For this purpose, we have designed, constructed and commissioned a versatile magnetic separator that allows efficient injection into an ion catcher, i.e., gas-filled stopper/cooler or thermal ionizer, from which a low energy radioactive beam will be extracted. These nuclides will be transported to atomic traps for precision experiments that may test the Standard Model.
