Description

The MORA experiment is looking for a possible signature for CP violation in the decay of radioactive trapped and polarised ions [1]. The two main candidates for measurements at MORA are 23Mg+ and 39Ca+, that will be delivered by the SPIRAL 1 facility in GANIL as of 2029.
The 39Ca+ beam requires a challenging development. To achieve a sufficient beam intensity - more that 1E7 pps - the innovative TULIP target ion source system [2] will be coupled to a fragmentation target.
This contribution will present the current status of this development and the broader, potentially unique beam-intensity opportunities it enables for future experiments at SPIRAL1 using exotic radioactive ion beams.
