A. %T ECOS-LINCE: A HIGH-INTENSITY HEAVY-ION FACILITY FOR NUCLEAR STRUCTURE AND REACTIONS %D 2016 %@ 0587-4254 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10668/19376 %X During the last years, the ECOS working group has been considering the construction of a new high-intensity accelerator of stable ion beams for the next Long-Range Plan of the nuclear physics community in Europe. The new facility (LINCE) will be a multi-user facility dedicated to ECOS science: fundamental physics, astrophysics, nuclear structure and reaction dynamics. In this paper, we summarize preliminary design studies of the low-energy part of this facility based on the use of a multi-ion superconducting linac. %~
