The GANIL-Spiral facility (Caen, France) is dedicated to the acceleration of
heavy ion beams for nuclear physics, atomic physics, radiobiology and material
irradiation. The production of radioactive ion beams for nuclear physics
studies represents the main part of the activity. The facility possesses a
versatile combination of equipments, which permits to produce accelerated
radioactive ion beams with two complementary methods: Isotope Separation In
Line (ISOL) and In-Flight Separation techniques (IFS). Considering the future
of GANIL, SPIRAL II projects aims to produce high intensity secondary beams, by
fission induced with a 5 mA deuteron beam on an uranium target.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, to be appear in the proceedings of the 17th
