Low-energy & in-flight separators

At RIKEN RI Beam Factory (RIBF), heavy-ion beams such as 238U accelerated to 345 MeV/nucleon are utilized to produce a wide variety of short-lived nuclei through projectile fragmentation or in-flight fission reactions, induced when these beams impinge on a beryllium target. This target is placed at the entrance of the BigRIPS separator. Beam ions that do not undergo nuclear reactions at the...
For over 30 years, the TwinSol radioactive ion beam facility at Notre Dame’s Nuclear Science Laboratory has provided in-flight radioactive ion beams (RIB) to a variety of experiments probing nuclear structure, astrophysics and fundamental symmetries. These relatively low-mass, high-rate beams have enabled a swath of science, including high-precision beta-decay half-life measurements, probes...
The NEXT setup [1] has been designed and built to study Neutron-rich, heavy, EXotic nuclei produced in multinucleon Transfer reactions. NEXT is a new experiment at the PARTREC facility in Groningen which has been recently installed in a dedicated beamline at the AGOR cyclotron [2]. The AGOR cyclotron at PARTREC is capable to deliver highly intense heavy ion beam at energies well suited for...
Studying exotic nuclei at the nuclear driplines presents many challenges: Firstly, production rates can fall below a particle per second. Secondly, isobaric contamination can be many orders of magnitude greater than the species of interest. Lastly, half-lives become increasingly small, often milliseconds if not shorter. Under these conditions, experiments require tools capable of fast,...
The Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) has become the most-used ion source type in the ISOL (Isotope Separator On-Line) facilities worldwide due to its element selectivity and high ionization efficiency. The hot-cavity type RILIS developed at RAON is based on resonant excitation of atomic transitions by the frequency tuned laser beams which are overlapped temporally and spatially...
