Abstract

SPIRAL1 facility is currently under transformation (Dubois) [1] in order to extend the range of radioactive ion beam offered to users. It will be able to host a larger variety of target ion source systems by the end of 2016, needed to fulfil the production requirements related to the chemical variety of the isotopes demanded by the physicists. The extent of the transformation is limited by the frame of the safety regulation and by the existing facility. Several combinations of mono-charged or multi-charged ECR, FEBIAD and surface ionization sources with new target materials are becoming possible. Some of these combinations are already under test. A comparison between expected SPIRAL1 performances and results obtained in other facilities is presented with the aim of leading our next developments.
