Abstract

In this conceptual design report the possible options for an upgrade of the REX/HIE-ISOLDE charge breeder are discussed. The performance requirements imposed by standard HIE-ISOLDE physics as well as injection into a possible future TSR@ISOLDE are discussed, and thereafter translated into machine parameters. Experimental results from tests of a high-current and high-density electron gun performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory are presented, and alternative gun designs are discussed. Finally, a cost estimate is given together with possible beneficiaries of the on-going R&D, and potential collaboration partners are identified.
