Session 3- Target and Ion Source Techniques
- Hanna Franberg Delahaye (GANIL)
Multi-step resonance photo-ionisation is an essential component of radioactive ion beam production at most of the existing and planned thick-target ISOL facilities. At ISOLDE, the Resonance Ionisation Laser Ion Source (RILIS) is capable of ionising 40 elements. Its unmatched combination of selectivity and efficiency ensures its place as the most commonly used ion source for ISOLDE...
TRIUMF’s isotope separator and accelerator facility is an ISOL facility based on a 500MeV proton driver beam with a beam intensity of up to 100microA on target. The ion sources in use are TRIUMF’s FEBIAD, surface ion source and resonance ionization laser ion source (TRILIS). The TRILIS operational experience – delivering more than 50% of all beams and scheduled shifts - with all solid state...
Charge breeding by Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) is an important technique for preparation of radioactive beams for further post-acceleration. The most efficient mode of the EBIS is pulsed mode. Depending on different parameters the characteristic time of the charge breeding process is of order of ~10 ms to ~100 ms, while the extraction time is 10 µs – 100 µs.
However, from the...
Radioactive ion beam facilities exploiting thick targets, which are irradiated by a high-energy driver beam, allow the production of intense beams of many chemical elements. For example at CERN-ISOLDE more than 1000 isotopes of 73 different chemical elements are available for delivery to a large spectrum of experimental setups for investigations in nuclear physics, structure and...
