• 3 experimental stations (2 installed in stage 1) • TSR line and optional ‘car park’ line • Modular lattice • 8 lines: XL (REX Linac), XT 00 – XT 06 (REX Transfer) 2017 2016 2014

Possible TSR layout (see Fred’s talk)

Naming convention • Follow existing REX/ISOLDE conventions for slot names • Keep names compact and simple • Try to meet layout database requirements https: //edms. cern. ch/document/1181879/2

Beam Optics Periodic focusing channel • 3. 2 m period • Long drift for benders • Short drift for beam diagnostics/correctors • Matching section

Optics and layout • Decided to keep one 90 and one 45 bend beamline (XT 01 and XT 02) • Reduced from 2 to 1 quadrupole designs, 200 mm magnetic length • Decided maximum quadrupole strength of 25 T/m and inscribed diameter of 50 mm, with 40 mm vacuum chamber ID • SC linac to periodic channel matching section: 2 standard quadrupoles • Investigating single quadrupole in achromat module, rather than split (2) quadrupoles • Investigating increasing main dipole bending field from 1. 0 to 1. 1 T -> more compact magnets • Optimizing layout and element spacing as a function of magnet design estimates – physical magnet envelopes critical -> exact beamline position not final

Magnet design, parameters and powering • Decided that magnets do not need to be ‘fast’ switching – so laminated cores are not essential (but maybe cheaper for series production) – DC power supplies • Decided to reuse GSI 22. 5 SBEND dipoles for XT 01, with new 45 SBEND dipoles for XT 02 (investigating spares and documentation) • Magnet powering expected to be with off-the-shelf convertors – first magnet design still needed for detailed characteristics • Decided to have diagnositic box and steerer in each period. • Steerer strength 6 m. T. m to be checked with error study. • Number of separate powering families still to be define • Error/steering study: to make (new Fellow 1 st March)

Linac shielding • Current tunnel: – RP request 40 cm concrete or 10 mm lead – Existing shielding 40/80 cm concrete, 2*10 mm lead plates for end wall • Need radiation study for SC linac • Baseline: tunnel 80 cm concrete/end wall lead (20 mm? ) • Reserve 85 mm space in the lattice for the end wall • The full tunnel is installed in stage 1 • Access door on Jura side

Stage 2 b Matching section: issues Shielding (end of tunnel) Coldtrap region

Beam instrumentation • One diagnostic box period (at least keep space) • Use SC-linac ‘short box’ – Faraday cup – H-V slit profiler • Modular boxes: possibility to add special tools (Si-det, collimators, stripping foils) • Emittancemeter at the end of the XT 00 line AVS company – Gipuzkoa, Spain

Vacuum system HEBT • Baseline is pumping via Diagnostic Boxes only – needs mechanical design and calculations • Sectorisation defined with each separate line, sector valve behind first bender at the start of each line and in front of experimental station • Coldtrap needed between end linac and start XT 00 – 400 mm available in layout which should be sufficient (need to reserve space for a cold trap in front of SC-linac too!) • Exact valve positions/envelope: need magnet design for integration • Stripper foil in DB between the two benders, one for each line

Access to experimental area • Counting room outside controlled area foreseen (new building) • Prompt radiation due to high energy beam (neutrons) unlikely to be an issue but – Need supervision: BLM, radiation monitors – Need to monitor beam intensity (stable beam) • Activity from radioactive beams: situation is unchanged -> ongoing discussion with RP

HELIOS magnetic shielding Assume 5 mm displacement (R_ap/4) in one period (3. 2 m), A/q = 2. 5 • Similar for ISOLDE beams (30 k. V, A=10, q=1+ -> 1 G) • Not compatible with blind scaling for radioactive beams

HEBT Timeline • Conceptual design review: 25 April 2012 – • Technical design review: early July 2012 – • 2 months foreseen: beware parallel Linac commissioning Start beam commissioning: October 2014 – • 17 months from tender launch – OK if no other delays Start installation: August 2014 – • No finance committee contracts End of manufacturing: end July 2014 – • Magnets, powering, vacuum, instrumentation Launch of tenders: end February 2013 – • Agree on technical design solutions Finish of technical specifications: end Nov 2012 – • Agree on concept and optics solution found First commissioning , system checks and performance validations Physics operation: start 2015

Main remaining issues • Choice of split or single quad for achromat • Acceptable strength of main dipoles • “Final” iteration on layout and optics with realistic magnet envelopes, once these two things are known -> line position can still change a bit • Error and steering study to validate aperture choice and steerer strengths • Layout and integration validation with all beamline elements

Conclusions • General layout and main options are fixed • Need to finalise optics and define specifications • Tight schedule but feasible – need careful planning of installation and commissioning
