Abstract: 
The Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) laboratory in Bucharest, Romania, will host an IGISOL-type facility which will study exotic neutron-rich ion beams produced via photo-fission in actinide targets placed at the center of a cryogenic gas cell. Using a complex radio frequency quadrupole for radioactive ion beam formation, a powerful multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer for selecting the refractory isotopes of interest, and several measurement stations, this facility will be an exciting new tool for nuclear scientists. The two mechanisms of ion transport inside the gas cell, namely drift by electric fields and drag by supersonic gas jets, are studied. A program to test the individual components of the stopping cell is discussed.
