100. Producing short-lived isotopes by fusion evaporation reactions in the TULIP TISS at GANIL

Pascal JARDIN (CNRS/IN2P3/GANIL)

2025-10-24, 10:30 a.m.

Isotope production, target, and ion source techniques

Oral invited talk

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...

153. Development of high-flux MRTOF isobar separator at SCRIT facility

Shun Iimura (Rikkyo University)

2025-10-24, 11:00 a.m.

Ion guide, gas catcher, and beam manipulation techniques

Oral contributed talk

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...

98. BYACO: A Unified Platform for Analysis, Control, and Operation in Nuclear Physics Experiments

Toshiyuki Sumikama (RIKEN Nishina Center)

2025-10-24, 11:20 a.m.

Instrumentation for radioactive ion beam experiments

Oral contributed talk

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,...

22. HISTARS: A High-Performance Detector for Nuclear Excited-State Lifetimes at HIE-ISOLDE

Nikita Bernier (Universidad Complutense de Madrid)

Instrumentation for radioactive ion beam experiments

Oral contributed talk

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...

136. Recent MR-TOF-MS developments at Jyväskylä

Ville Virtanen (University of Jyväskylä)

Ion optics and spectrometers

Oral invited talk

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...
