REX-ISOLDE [1] is an experiment at ISOLDE/CERN with a twofold aim: (i)
to demonstrate a novel efficient scheme for the acceleration of radio
active ions from the online mass separator ISOLDE to energies around t
he Coulomb barrier. (ii) to perform first nuclear physics experiments
by studying the structure of the neutron-rich (N = 20, N = 28) nuclei
by Coulomb excitation and neutron transfer reactions. An overview on t
he different components of the radioactive beam accelerator is given w
ith special emphasis on the separation possibilities and ion number ca
pabilities of the system.
