Instrumentation for RIB experiments II
- Thomas Elias Cocolios (KU Leuven)
SPIRAL1 (Système de Production d’Ions Radioactifs Accélérés en Ligne phase 1) is an ISOL system installed at GANIL (Grand Accélérateur National d’Ions Lourds) at CAEN/France. Since 2001, it uses a large variety of primary beams, from C to U, at energies up to 95 MeV/u to produce low energy or post-accelerated Radioactive Ion Beams (RIB). The possibilities of primary beam and target coupling...
The SCRIT facility at RIKEN recently achieved the world’s first electron scattering experiments with online-produced radioactive isotopes (RIs)[1,2]. The next milestone is an electron scattering experiment using a high-purity $^{132}$Sn ion beam. However, the current ISOL-type RI production system at SCRIT, ERIS, inherently produces isobaric contaminants, particularly $^{132}$Sb, which impede...
Production of radioactive ion (RI) beams at RIKEN RIBF using the BigRIPS fragment separator requires dedicated studies of RI-beam separation and particle identification (PID), particularly for heavy-ions or low-energy beams. Challenges arise from the charge-state change and inaccurate energy loss predictions. While post-experiment analysis provides valuable insights for further improvements,...
The ISOLDE facility at CERN is one of the most versatile and prolific facilities worldwide for the production of exotic isotopes using the Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) method. The HIE-ISOLDE project has realized a cutting-edge superconducting post-accelerator capable of delivering radioactive ion beams with energies up to 10 MeV/u, making ISOLDE a unique facility worldwide to accelerate...
During the last decade Multi-Reflection Time-of-Flight Mass-Spectrometers (MR-ToF-MS) [1] have been established as integral parts of radioactive beam facilities. These devices are used to separate and to measure the atomic masses of particularly exotic, short-lived radioactive nuclei to high precision, shedding light on the nuclear forces [2], the composition of neutron stars [3], and the...
