Description
SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) is an INFN project to develop a Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) facility based on the ISOL techniqueas an intermediate step toward the European ISOL facility EURISOL.
SPES is under construction at the LaboratoriNazionali di Legnaro. The main goal is to provide an accelerator system to perform forefront research in nuclear physics by studying nuclei far from stability.
A H- proton cyclotron will be used as driver for the ISOL target. The exotic beams will be selected and injected in the ALPI superconductive linac to produce reaccelerated RIB’s at energy as high as 10 AMeV at A=130.
An interdisciplinary research centerwill be also developed, taking advantage of the cyclotron configuration allowing the production of two independent proton beams.
The SPES acceleration system will be presented, together with the statusof the facility construction.
