- At ISOLDE, CERN the development of charge breeding techniques is one of the key points for numerous future experiments. We report in this article on the latest online tests of the Daresbury Phoenix booster at ISOLDE. The performances of the continuous mode were investigated for different injected stable beams. Preliminary results were obtained with the afterglow pulsing method and two injected noble gas isotopes. These latter tests are of particular interest for the postacceleration of ISOL-type beams.

- Measurements of nuclear properties of some neutron-rich asymmetric fission isotopes at an ISOL laboratory present a severe problem when a plasma ion source is used as the primary ion-source. The problem is associated with intense multi-charged symmetric fission contaminants that cannot be mass-separated from asymmetric fission products. In this work we demonstrate how this problem can be overcome on-line by using an electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) as a charge-breeding secondary ion-source. Mixed Ar+/Kr2+/Xe3+ radioactive beams from an plasma ion-source were injected into the PHOENIX ECRIS that currently is installed at the ISOLDE facility at CERN in order to improve the ratio of Ar to the background contaminants of Kr and Xe. The signal to noise ratio was improved by more than two orders of magnitude after charge-breeding and mass-separation of the Ar8+, Ar9+ beams. The information on the decay of the Ar-48 nucleus obtained in these tests is useful for a better understanding of the origin of the Ca-48/Ca-46 meteorite isotopic anomaly. Potential applications of the method are discussed.

- High-precision mass measurements on lithium-like and hydrogen-like 40Ca-ions are reported. The obtained mass of the hydrogen-like and lithium-like ion is 39.952181819(29) u and 39.953272223(24) u, respectively. The corresponding mass of the 40Ca atom is 39.962590858(22) u. This new value has a precision ten times higher than the literature value.
