This paper presents an overview of the REX-ISOLDE post-accelerator and a detailed
description of the high intensity and energy ISOLDE (HIE-ISOLDE) energy upgrade. The …

Radio-frequency cavities used in particle accelerators are usually manufactured from two
half cells that are electron beam welded together. In this case, the weld is located across the …

Abstract Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavities are widely used in particle
accelerators and provide much higher 𝑄 than normal conducting cavities. Most commonly …

Highly charged ions see widespread use in fundamental research, medicine, and industry.
This thesis describes development work carried out to improve on the charge breeding …

Abstract The Isotope Separator On-Line Device (ISOLDE) at CERN is one of the world-
leading research facilities in the field of nuclear physics. Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) are …

Abstract The HIE-ISOLDE Linac (High Intensity and Energy)[1] is a recent upgrade to the
ISOLDE facility of CERN, increasing the maximum beam energy and providing means to …

The High Intensity and Energy ISOLDE project (HIE-ISOLDE)* is a major upgrade of the
ISOLDE facility at CERN. The energy range of the post-accelerator will be extended from …

Negative ions are of fundamental interest in atomic physics due to the enhanced importance
of the electron correlation. In this thesis new spectroscopic methods have been developed …

Abstract The HIE-ISOLDE Linac (High Intensity and Energy) is a recent upgrade to the
ISOLDE facility of CERN, increasing the maximum beam energy and providing means to …

After the first successful physics run with radioactive ion beams at HIE ISOLDE, in October
2015 [1], the staged deployment of the linac continued in 2016 by adding a second …
