Beam Optics Study of a Fragment Separator for the Planned Rare Isotope Beam Facility in Korea
نویسندگان
چکیده
A heavy-ion accelerator facility based on a linear accelerator is planned in Korea. The facility is designed to provide high-current radioisotope beams, and they will be utilized in the fields of nuclear, material and biomedical sciences. The primary beam energy is in the range of a few hundreds of MeV/u. A major mechanism to produce isotope beams is in-flight fragment separation. The separator system should have high mass resolution and particle identification method to separate and identify rare isotopes of interest, and also large momentum and angular acceptances for maximal utilization of produced isotopes. We are considering improved beam optics design to realize such a system, where second order aberrations are corrected. The study has been performed mainly using COSY Infinity.

Beam Dump Design for the In-flight Fragment Separator Using High-power Beam*
The beam dump is a critical component for the in-flight fragment separator using high-power primary beams at the rare isotope science project (RISP) in Korea. The maximum beam power is planned to be 400 kW, and a third of the primary beam power deposits at the isotope production target and the rest are dissipated at the beam dump. The beam dump is designed to be a rotating water drum, which is ...

In the LEBIT research project a configuration of electrostatic ion optical elements is used to guide ions from a test ion source to an RFQ cooler/buncher. The present ion optical configuration is functional but the ion beam properties for injection into the buncher can still be improved. The computer program Simion 7.0 was used to optimize the present ion optics configuration and test new desig...
متن کاملSymmetry-based design of fragment separator optics
Next-generation high-intensity large acceptance fragment separators require a careful design due to the large high order aberrations induced by the large aperture superconducting magnets needed to collect rare isotopes obtained from a high energy primary heavy-ion beam hitting a target. In this paper we propose a fragment separator layout based on various symmetries that satisfies the baseline ...

متن کاملTracking Studies and Performance Simulations of the Nscl A1900 Fragment Separator
At the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL), secondary beams of often short-lived radioactive nuclei are produced by the technique of projectile fragmentation where a primary beam impinges on a thin target to produce a broad spectrum of isotopes with nearbeam velocity. As a major element of a recently funded upgrade of the NSCL facility, an increased capacity fragment separator ...
