Description
A gas can be a good alternative to a solid or liquid to catch, store and
transport radioactive ions, especially for short-living species and/or
isotopes from refractory elements. A short overview of the evolution in gas
catchers will be given. Then the different processes taking place in
gas-catchers and influencing the overal behavior will be discussed. The
contribution will end by a critical assessment of the role that gas catchers
can play in the next generation of radioactive ion beam facilities.
