2.4.11.3.3 Conclusion<br />

In summary, we can state that the target design for slow extraction is technically solved and fulfils<br />

all the requirements for experiments with exotic nuclei at the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS. Prototyping and test<br />

experiments at the present FRS have already started and will be continued.<br />

For fast extracted beams the design of a universal production target is still in progress. However,<br />

the rotating graphite wheel, ideally suited for slow-extraction, can also be used for fast extraction at<br />

the highest intensities under the condition that the separation power of the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS and the<br />

transmission are reduced. Replacing the graphite wheel by a liquid target, together with an<br />

enlarged beam spot at the target, may yield even more favourable conditions for a long-term stable<br />

operation with 10 12 of the heaviest ions in 50 ns pulses. Both 3-dimensional hydro-dynamical<br />

calculations and experimental investigations on the behaviour of a liquid-metal jet are underway.<br />
