The TULIP project aims to produce radioactive ion beams of short-lived neutron-deficient isotopes by using fusion-evaporation reactions in an optimized Target Ion Source System (TISS). The first step consisted of the design of a TISS to produce rubidium isotopes. It was tested with a primary beam of 22[email protected] MeV/A irradiating a natural Ni target at the SPIRAL1/GANIL facility in March 2022. Rates of 76,78Rb were measured as well as an exceptionally short atom-to-ion transformation time for an ISOL system, of the order of 200 \micros. The second step of the project aims at producing neutron-deficient short-lived metallic isotopes in the region of 100Sn. A "cold" prototype has been realized to study the electron impact ionization in the TISS cavity and a "hot" version is under construction to prepare an on-line experiment expected in the near future.
