Abstract

The project of an important new extension of the GANIL facility – SPIRAL 2 which entered in the construction phase in 2005 is shortly presented. The physics case of the facility is based on the use of high intensity stable and radioactive beams. Expected performances and main technical parameters of the facility as well as planned new experimental areas and detectors are introduced described.

    Despite recent efforts in attempting to reduce beam contamination, this latter issue is the main motivation for ANL [8] and more recently TRIUMF [44] to replace their respective ECRIS by EBIS charge breeders. Yet ECRIS charge breeders still present the advantage of a full continuous operation, and are preferred in the case of the upgrade of the SPIRAL 1 facility [28], and the SPIRAL 2 [45] and SPES [46] projects. In the case of SPIRAL 1 and 2, the CIME cyclotron shall very efficiently suppress contaminants with a relative mass difference beyond a few 10−4 [47].

    Fission products of different reactions are then scattered out of the target, ionized, separated on line and post-accelerated into the existing CIME cyclotron at GANIL (Fig. 1). Obtained secondary radioactive beams will be used in different experimental areas to perform many experiments in a wide range of neutron and proton rich nuclei far from the line of stability besides various applied and multidisciplinary physics [2]. Produced fission species from target irradiation reactions create strong radiological and environmental constraints that lead to many challenges in accelerator nuclear safety studies [3].

    High-quality silicon detectors with good PSD capability may provide a well-priced upgrading, or even alternative, to complex telescope installations, especially in large detector arrays, such as CHIMERA [2,3]. PSD is also an option in the construction of large future experimental instrumentations (e.g. FAZIA [4] and GASPARD [5]) for next generation beam facilities, e.g. SPIRAL2 [6] or EURISOL [7]. Since the early sixties it has been known that, when an energetic charged particle impacts on a solid-state silicon detector, the information on its nuclear charge Z, and partly even mass A, is encoded in the shape of the detector current signal [8–10].
