Abstract
CERN's ISOLDE, an acronym for Isotope Separator On Line, went into operation again last year, after a major upgrading that has placed the facility in new building complex fed by a 1 GeV proton beam from the injector synchrotron, called the PS Booster (PSB). Hence, ISOLDE is now firmly integrated into the accelerator architecture of CERN. In the following, we give a description of the new installation and the physics that is being studied there. As is more often than not the case with laboratory visits and “portraits,” the picture is kaleidoscopic, and we have tried to make the overview easier by placing most of the examples and all the detailed information in the form of “Panels,” most of them illustrated and all of them, we hope, sufficiently self contained, so that they can be read without referring to the main text and to other Panels. For a start we point to Panel I, which gives some important dates and data concerning ISOLDE.
