Recoil separator ERNA: charge state distribution, target density, beam heating, and longitudinal acceptance
نویسندگان
چکیده
For improved cross section measurements of the reaction Cða; gÞO in inverted kinematics, a recoil separator ERNA is developed at the 4MV Dynamitron tandem accelerator in Bochum to detect directly the O recoils with high efficiency. The O recoils are produced by the C projectiles in a windowless He gas target. We report on the charge state distribution of the O recoils, the gas target density, the beam heating of the gas target, and the acceptance of the separator along the extended gas target. r 2004 Elsevier B.V.

THE EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL A A windowless hydrogen gas target for the measurement of Be(p, γ)B with the recoil separator ERNA
A new measurement of the cross section of Be(p, γ)B will be done in inverted kinematics with the recoil separator ERNA at the CIRCE laboratory in Caserta, Italy. The B recoils will be produced in a windowless hydrogen gas target. We report here on the construction and characterization of the gas cell. In detail we describe measurements for target density, the profile determination via the Li(p,...
متن کاملDesign of the recoil mass separator St. George
A recoil mass separator has been designed for the purpose of studying low energy ða; gÞ reactions in inverse kinematics for beam masses up to about A 1⁄4 40. Their reaction rates are of importance for our understanding of energy production and nucleosynthesis during stellar and explosive helium burning. The reactions take place in a windowless He gas target at the beginning of the separator whi...
متن کاملAbsolute resonance strengths in the 6 , 7 Li ( α , γ ) 10 , 11 B reactions
The absolute strengths of the Eα = 1175 keV resonance in the 6 Li(α, γ) 10 B reaction and of the Eα = 814 keV resonance in the 7 Li(α, γ) 11 B reaction have been measured to ωγ = 366 ± 38 meV and ωγ = 300 ± 32 meV, respectively, in good agreement with previous values. These resonances can be used to measure the absolute acceptance of the recoil separator ERNA to a precision of about 10%.
متن کاملAbsolute absorption cross sections from photon recoil in a matter-wave interferometer.
We measure the absolute absorption cross section of molecules using a matter-wave interferometer. A nanostructured density distribution is imprinted onto a dilute molecular beam through quantum interference. As the beam crosses the light field of a probe laser some molecules will absorb a single photon. These absorption events impart a momentum recoil which shifts the position of the molecule r...

Construction began in 1995 on ISAC, a radioactive ion beam (RIB) and accelerator facility at TRIUMF that utilises the ISOL (on-line isotope separation) production method. ISAC includes: a new building, a beam line with adequate shielding to transport up to 100 uA of 500 MeV protons to two target/ion-source stations, remote handling facilities for the targets, a high-resolution mass-separator, l...
