SISSI AT GANIL

In the continuation of secondary beam production studies started in th e eighties, GANIL laboratory has been running for two years an efficie nt device called SISSI, dedicated to the production of exotic beams by projectile fragmentation. It consists of two supraconducting solenoid s surrounding a thick target. The magnetic field is as high as 11T and the nominal angular acceptance of about 160 mr. SISSI is located at t he CSS2 cyclotron exit that is upstream the alpha spectrometer and all the experimental rooms which can therefore receive secondary beams.
