Description
The CERN ISOLDE Facility is a premier Radioactive-Ion-Beams (RIBs) facility using the ISOL (Isotope Separation On-Line) method to provide RIBs at energies from 30 keV to 10 MeV/u for a large variety of experiments. Recognized worldwide for its significant contributions to nuclear physics, ISOLDE now faces the challenges of its aging infrastructure. As a consequence, a comprehensive improvement program has been launched to enhance the capabilities and capacities of the facility as well as to ensure that several systems meet modern radiation safety standards. A critical component of the program is the replacement of the two beam dumps that absorb the fraction of the proton beam that does not interact in the RIBs production targets. This contribution details the aspect of the project that includes the removal of the two dumps and their associated shielding (soil and shielding blocks), the design of the new beam-dump cores to cope with the higher beam power of the proton driver in the future, as well as the construction of the infrastructure hosting the new systems.
