The long-lived xenon isomers $^{{129} \textrm{m}}$Xe and $^{{131} \textrm{m}}$Xe are of interest for the GAMMA-MRI project, which aims at developing a novel imaging modality based on magnetic resonance of polarized unstable tracers. Here, we present the steps leading to and following the production of these two isomers via neutron irradiation of highly-enriched $^{128}$Xe and $^{130}$Xe gas samples at two high-flux reactors, the High-Flux Reactor (Réacteur à haut flux, RHF) at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) and the MARIA reactor at the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ).

Targets and ion sources at CERN-ISOLDE — Facilities and developments
/ Rothe, S (CERN) ; Au, M (CERN ; Mainz U.) ; Ballof, J (CERN ; Mainz U.) ; Barbero, E (CERN) ; Bissell, M (CERN) ; Boucherie, A (CERN) ; Bovigny, M (CERN) ; Chrysalidis, K (CERN) ; Crepieux, B (CERN) ; Cruikshank, J (CERN) et al.
At the CERN-ISOLDE radioactive ion beam facility, thick targets are irradiated using a beam of 1.4-GeV protons. One of ISOLDE’s key features is the large choice of ion source types and target materials available, enabling us to select the ideal combination for optimal intensity and purity of the isotopes requested by ISOLDE users.

CERN-MEDICIS: A Review Since Commissioning in 2017
/ MEDICIS Collaboration
The CERN-MEDICIS (MEDical Isotopes Collected from ISolde) facility has delivered its first radioactive ion beam at CERN (Switzerland) in December 2017 to support the research and development in nuclear medicine using non-conventional radionuclides. Since then, fourteen institutes, including CERN, have joined the collaboration to drive the scientific program of this unique installation and evaluate the needs of the community to improve the research in imaging, diagnostics, radiation therapy and personalized medicine.

CERN-MEDICIS: A Unique Facility for the Production of Non-Conventional Radionuclides for the Medical Research
/ Duchemin, Charlotte (CERN) ; Barbero-Soto, Esther (CERN) ; Bernardes, Ana (CERN) ; Catherall, Richard (CERN) ; Chevallay, Eric (CERN) ; Cocolios, Thomas (Leuven U.) ; Dorsival, Alexandre (CERN) ; Fedosseev, Valentin (CERN) ; Fernier, Pascal (CERN) ; Gilardoni, Simone (CERN) et al.
The MEDICIS facility is a unique facility located at CERN dedicated to the production of non-conventional radionuclides for research and development in imaging, diagnostics and radiation therapy. It exploits in a Class A work sector, a dedicated isotope separator beam line, a target irradiation station at the 1.4 GeV Proton Synchroton Booster (PSB) and receives activated targets from external institutes during CERN Long Shut-Downs.

First laser ions at the CERN-MEDICIS facility
/ MEDICIS Collaboration
The CERN-MEDICIS facility aims to produce emerging medical radionuclides for the theranostics approach in nuclear medicine with mass separation of ion beams. To enhance the radioisotope yield and purity of collected samples, the resonance ionization laser ion source MELISSA was constructed, and provided the first laser ions at the facility in 2019. [...]

The LIEBE high-power target: Offline commissioning results and prospects for the production of $^{100}$ Sn ISOL beams at HIE-ISOLDE

With the aim of increasing the primary beam intensity in the next generation Radioactive Ion Beam facilities, a major challenge is the production of targets capable of dissipating high beam power, particularly for molten targets. In that context, a direct molten loop target concept was proposed for short-lived isotopes for EURISOL. [...]

Scheduling the powering tests

The Large Hadron Collider is now entering in its final phase before receiving beam, and the activities at CERN between 2007 and 2008 have shifted from installation work to the commissioning of the technical systems ("hardware commissioning"). Due to the unprecedented complexity of this machine, all the systems are or will be tested as far as possible before the cool-down starts. [...]

For the two counter rotating beams in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) about 8000 magnets (main dipole and quadrupole magnets, corrector magnets, separation dipoles, matching section quadrupoles etc.) are powered in about 1500 superconducting electrical circuits. The magnets are powered by power converters that have been designed for the LHC with a current between 60 and 13000A. [...]
