TRI\mu P --- A New Facility to Produce and Trap Radioactive Isotopes

M. Sohani

At the Kernfysisch Vensneller Institiutr (KVI) in Groningen, NL, a new facility (TRI\mu P) is under development. It aims for producing, slowing down, and trapping of radioactive isotopes in order to perform accurate measurements on fundamental symmetries and interactions. A production target station and a dual magnetic separator installed and commissioned. We will slow down the isotopes of interest using an ion catcher and in a further stage a radiofrequency quadropole gas cooler (RFQ). The isotopes will finally be trapped in an atomic trap for precision studies.
