Feasibility of PS Booster - ISOLDE Complex Operation at 150 MeV

The ISOLDE target station is a suitable test area for the targets required from various projects like high power pulsed n-spallation sources, neutrino factories, future high power RIB facilities (EURISOL) and Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS), (TRADE). It is of interest to evaluate whether the already wide energy range (600 MeV to 1.4 GeV) of this unique test facility can be extended as low as 150 MeV to cover the potential needs of ADS systems. The feasibility and implications of operating the PS Booster - ISOLDE Complex at 150 MeV are analysed.
