THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE TRIµP SEPARATOR — •G.P.A. Berg, 0. Dermois, K. Kiewiet, H.H. Traykov, H.W. Wilschut, and K. Jungmann — Kernfysisch Versneller Instituut, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, Netherlands

The TRIµP separator is the first part of the TRImP facility at KVI, the purpose of which is to separate specific rare isotopes that will be produced using the cyclotron AGOR via fragmentation and fusion evaporation reactions at energies of 8 - 70 MeV/nucleon. In particular rare isotopes that are needed for high precision studies to search for physics beyond the standard model are of interest. The separator is an achromatic system consisting of two magnetic dipole doublets and four quadrupole doublets. At the intermediate, dispersive focal plane a slit system will be used to separate beam and reaction products according to their magnetic rigidities. Further separation is possible in the second section using the energy loss method by using wedge type degraders. The system is designed to operate not only in this No-dqfragmentation modeNo-dq, but also in the No-dqgas-filled recoil modeNo-dq to allow efficient collection of heavy isotopes with large charge state distributions. The magnet system is presently being fabricated by Danfysik and Sigma Phi. Installation at KVI will start at the end of this year. We will present the concept, layout and present status of the project.
