46. Towards building a Radionuclide Bank from proton irradiated Hg and Pb-Bi targets

The proposed EURISOL facility is expected to be the world’s largest ISOL facility to produce a large variety of high intensity radioactive ion beam in near future. Unlike the existing ISOL facilities, mercury or lead-bismuth target will be exploited simultaneously as neutron converter and coolant in the EURISOL facility. A large number of radionuclides will be produced as a result of a few GeV...

33. A Plan for building a Heavy Ion Accelerator in Korea

In 2009 the Korean government announced a plan to construct a Heavy Ion Accelerator facility in Korea. A plan to construct a Heavy Ion Accelerator to produce rare isotope beams is underway. The construction of this facility will be one of few mega-projects for basic science research facility in Korea. This facility tentatively referred to as KoRIA (Korea Rare Isotope Accelerator) is planned as...

28. Ion production needs for beta beams

Ion production needs for beta beams “Neutrino properties are interesting probes to physics beyond the Standard Model. High quality neutrino beams of pure electron (anti-)neutrinos can be produced by accelerating beams of beta radioactive ions (beta beams) and let them decay in long straight sections in a race track shaped storage ring. Two ion species are needed, one producing neutrinos...

30. Target and Ion Source Development : (n,X) reaction for 6He neutrino beams tested at ISOLDE

Thierry Stora (CERN)

We report here results obtained this year on the production of Beams by (n,X) reactions with the ISOLDE neutron converter. The converter is traditionally used to produce n-rich fission fragments in UCx targets. We present here data on 9Be(n,alpha)6He obtained with a new BeO target coupled to the VADIS ion source. Record 6He intensities were indeed obtained. Information on the neutron...

2. The possibility for a rare beam trapping facility in Israel

Michael Hass (Weizmann Institute of Science)

The standard model of particle physics has proved to provide a good description of almost all known particle physics processes. Despite it's suc- cesses, however, the standard model is known to be incomplete, eg. in that the standard model parameters are arbitrary and derived from experiment rather than a priori. Experiments to test for physics beyond the standard model are...
