Isotope Production, Target and Ion Sources III
- Takahiro Nishi (RIKEN Nishina Center)
The RAON accelerator facility in Korea has recently initiated low-energy nuclear physics experiments using ion beams accelerated by the superconducting linear accelerator SCL3. As part of the Phase-1 operation, three major experimental systems for low-energy experiments—KoBRA (Korea Broad acceptance Recoil spectrometer and Apparatus), NDPS (Nuclear Data Production System), and CLaSsy...
Resonant ionization laser ion sources (RILIS) are highly efficient, element selective ion sources that are simple to implement at radioactive ion beam facilities, as the ion source's complexity is far removed from the high radiation, high temperature environment of the ISOL target & ion source region. With modern solid state laser technology a RILIS can operate reliably for the duration of...
Next-generation in-flight radioactive isotope (RI) beam facilities, including the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF), the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), and the upcoming Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), primarily use two reaction mechanisms: in-flight fission for medium-mass neutron-rich isotopes and projectile fragmentation for high-purity RI beams near the...
The resonance ionization laser ion sources RILIS, pioneered by V.S. Letokhov and his group in the 1980ties, have since found wide applications at all on-line isotope separator facilities worldwide. This success is based on the excellent specifications of ultimate ionization efficiency, realized for most elements of the periodic table, combined with very high selectivity achieved by suppressing...
