Description
Within the EU-RTD project TARGISOL the most suitable materials for the target
and ion source unit at ISOL (Isotope Separation On-Line) facilities for the
production of beams of short-lived radioactive carbon isotopes with half-lives of
minutes down to milliseconds have been investigated. On-line and off-line
experiments have been performed at ISOLDE, Paul Scherrer Institute (Villigen,
Switzerland) and GANIL (Caen, France) during three years.
The individual steps during the in-target production, diffusion out of the target,
through the transfer line and the final ionization before extraction to
experiments have been investigated.
The achieved results are showing promising possibilities for ameliorations of the
production yields of short-lived carbon and nitrogen isotopes from an ISOLDE
target unit coupled to the MiniMono ECR ion source.
