New Beam lines for the NUMEN experiment at INFN-LNS

The NUMEN experiment at INFN-LNS demands an upgrade of the Superconducting Cyclotron (CS) to deliver beam with power up to 10 kW for ions with mass A < 40 amu. To transport these high power beams, it is mandatory to build a new extraction beam line from the CS and to upgrade the existing beam transport lines to maintain the beam losses below 100 W, both in the accelerator room and along the beam transport areas. Moreover, a new fragment in-flight separator will be built to produce radioactive ion beams, but also to perform energy selection of the beam extracted from the cyclotron, to be delivered to the MAGNEX spectrometer with an energy spread below 0.1% FWHM. The use of a 10 kW ion beam implies also to redesign of the beam transport line inside the MAGNEX experimental room to allow the installation of a new large and well shielded beam dump beyond the apparatus.
