ViTO experiment at ISOLDE-CERN Versatile Ion polarized Techniques Online (ViTO) is a dedicated beamline for producing nuclear-polarized beams and for conducting experiments on a wide range of sample environments at ISOLDE-CERN. ViTO experiment is a modification of the formerly existing UHV beamline hosting the ASPIC apparatus and once fully operational it will open a wide range of possibilities for carrying out versatile and multidisciplinary experiments in the areas of nuclear and solid-state physics, fundamental interaction physics and biophysics. After the intended upgrade ViTO will provide three end stations: ASPIC, the β-asymmetry end station where highly-polarized ions will be available, and an open station for travelling experiments requiring rare polarized atoms (or ions). The latter station, if not occupied, will be used for monitoring spin-polarization during β-NMR or β-asymmetry experiments on the β-asymmetry beamline. The UHV and low temperature ASPIC station will remain for PAC studies on sensitive surfaces and interfaces and shall later be extended for β-NMR spectroscopy. Finally, the bio-β-NMR station will be equipped with a strong differential pumping system allowing for online β- NMR on liquid and online PAC spectroscopy in volatile matter, such as biochemically relevant aqueous solution. Furthermore, after chamber exchange, the station will allow for other, non-biological experiments. A short overview of future experiments will be presented during the talk.
