Poster (Non-Student) / affiche (non-étudiant)

EMMA is a recoil mass spectrometer designed to separate the recoils of nuclear reactions from the beams that produce them. It is being installed in the ISAC-II experimental hall of TRIUMF, where it will be used with heavy radioactive ion beams accelerated to energies close to the Coulomb barrier on a variety of targets. An update on its installation will be given.

1148. 45${}^{\circ }$ Ion Motion in an RFQ: a Study of SIMION 8.1 for Modeling Isobar Separator Beam Dynamics in AMS

Poster (Non-Student) / affiche (non-étudiant)

Radiofrequency multipoles (RFM’s) are a promising new technology in accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) for contributing to the removal of atomic and molecular isobars when combined with appropriate gases. The motion of charged particles in vacuo through the hyperbolic RFQ version are governed by the Mathieu functions for which convenient algebraic solutions exist for direct, continuous...

1138. An absolute neutron flux measurement of the ${}^{51}V(p,n{)}^{51}Cr$ reaction for PICO bubble chambers calibration

The PICO collaboration presently operates two bubbles chambers for the search of dark matter in the SNOLAB underground laboratory in Sudbury, Ontario. Multiple calibration chambers were created to understand the detectors’ behavior when exposed to different background radiation. The PICO 0.1 bubble chamber is used to perform neutron calibration at the Tandem Van de Graaff facility of the...

The masses of radioisotopes is a fundamental property which is critical to a number of fields of study, and Penning traps have proven to be an important tool in measuring these masses to high precision. The TITAN facility at TRIUMF has achieved many successes in this field including a successful measurement of the mass of 11Li, the shortest-lived nuclide to ever be measured in such a trap....

1444. Alpha-gamma Angular Correlation in 209Po Using TIGRESS Integrated Plunger

Alpha decay provides a powerful tool to study structure of heavy nuclei with Z>83 (above Pb and Bi). When a gamma ray is emitted following the alpha decay, the alpha-gamma angular correlation can be used to assess the height of Coulomb and centrifugal barriers, which determine the rate of the alpha-particle tunnelling. This correlation, through the selection rules for the decays, can also...
