Abstract | The Isotope mass Separator On-Line DEvice (ISOLDE) is a Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) facility based at CERN where rare isotopes are produced from 1.4 GeV-proton collisions with a target. The different types of targets and ion sources, operating conditions and ionization schemes used during the physics campaign results in extracted beams with various emittances. Characterizing the beam emittance allows deducing the transport efficiency to low-energy experimental stations (up to 60 keV) and the mass resolving power of the separators. We report on emittance measurements for different beams of stable elements extracted from surface and plasma ion sources. The dependence of the emittance on the different conditions of operation of the ion sources is investigated and the results are compared to previous measurements. |
