Tasks
The Design Study has 12 TASKS, detailed below
TASK 1 :
Management
Coordination and overseeing of technical, scientific, contractual, financial and administrative activities. Coordination of knowledge management: protection, use and dissemination of EURISOL DS results.
TASK 2 :
Multi-MW Target Station
Technical preparatory work and demonstration of principle for a high power target station for production of beams of fission fragments using the mercury proton-to-neutron converter-target and cooling technology in collaboration with the communities workin...
TASK 3 :
Direct Target
Development of prototypes of several target types for direct radionuclide production that can accommodate up to 100 kW power from a beam of protons or heavier ions. This task will include development targets for beta-beam applications.

TASK 9 :
Beam Preparation
The objective of this task is to study the feasibility of a new generation of devices with orders of magnitude greater capacity and throughput in order to accumulate, cool, bunch and purify the high intensity radioactive ion beams of EURISOL. In particul...
TASK 10 :
Physics and Instrumentation
Fully exploiting the scientific opportunities afforded by EURISOL will demand new experimental methods and novel detector technologies. Identifying and critically evaluating these for a range of experiments will be crucial for the design of EURISOL.
TASK 11 :
Beam Intensity Calculations
A reliable procedure will be provided for calculating beam intensities in different scenarios of the planned EURISOL facility using adequate nuclear-reaction and transport codes, which are validated and improved using data from innovative experimental app...
TASK 12 :
Beta-Beam Aspects
A Conceptual Design Report (CDR) of a large-scale accelerator facility based on the beta-beam concept for the production of pure electron neutrino beams will be produced. The Beta Beams facility could be an electron neutrino source of unprecedented purity...
