Nuclear Physics and Applications

Since fall 2017, the ADIGE (Acceleratore Di Ioni a Grande carica Esotici) injector of the SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) project entered the installation phase. The injector includes an Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR)-based Charge Breeder (SPES-CB) and its complete beam line, as well as a newly designed RFQ, to allow the post-acceleration of the radioactive ions produced in the so-called target-ion source-system. The injector has different peculiarities, deriving from particular needs of SPES: a complete electrostatic beam line equipped with a 1+ source for test purposes, and a unique Medium Resolution Mass Spectrometer (MRMS, R∼1/1000), mounted downstream the SPES-CB, to clean the radioactive beam from the contaminants induced by the breeding stage. This contribution reports about the status of the installation of the injector, describing the various technical solution adopted, and giving a realistic planning for the commission and following operation of its main parts.
