Eurisol layout



• Detailed engineering oriented studies and technical prototyping work

• 20 participants from 14 countries• 21 contributors from Europe, Asia and

North America• Total Cost : 33 M€• Contribution from EU : 9 M€R&D will benefit 2nd generation ISOL projects

Approved Design StudyFeb 2005 - Feb 2009



Eurisol schematic



• European Joint Laboratory - INFN-Legnaro and GANIL,funded mostly by host state(s)

• CERN, funded by subscription• Green-field site in less-favoured region

near nuclear physics institute,funded by European Structured Funds
