Description
The RIKEN Radioactive Ion Beam Factory, a major upgrade of the
existing heavy-ion accelerator facility at RIKEN, has recently been
commissioned. Three new ring cyclotrons boost the beam energies to
440 and 350 MeV/u for light and heavy ions, respectively with an
intensity goal for Uranium beams of 1p micro A.
From these primary beams intense secondary radioactive ion beams will
be produced by the large acceptance, two-stage in-flight RI fragment
separator BigRIPS.
A wide array of experiment equipment is existing, under construction or
planned. The facility, major experimental equipment and first results
of their operation will be presented.
