Production of Radioactive Nuclides in Inverse Reaction Kinematics
نویسنده
چکیده
Efficient production of short-lived radioactive isotopes in inverse reaction kinematics is an important technique for various applications. It is particularly interesting when the isotope of interest is only a few nucleons away from a stable isotope. In this article production via charge exchange and stripping reactions in combination with a magnetic separator is explored. The relation between the separator transmission efficiency, the production yield, and the choice of beam energy is discussed. The results of some exploratory experiments will be presented.

Basic research at GSI for the transmutation of nuclear waste
In the course of the concerted action “Lead for ADT”, which preceded the HINDAS project [1], an innovative experimental method has been developed at GSI-Darmstadt. This new approach is based on the inverse-kinematics method where a liquid-hydrogen target is bombarded with heavy projectiles. The reaction products are identified in-flight in mass and atomic number in a high-resolution spectromete...
متن کاملSpallation reactions – physics and applications
Spallation reactions have become an ideal tool for studying the equation of state and thermal instabilities of nuclear matter. In astrophysics, the interactions of cosmic rays with the interstellar medium have to be understood in detail for deducing their original composition and their production mechanisms. Renewed interest in spallation reactions with protons around 1 GeV came up recently wit...
متن کاملA model for consecutive spallation and fragmentation reactions in inverse kinematics at relativistic energies
Secondary reactions induced by relativistic beams in inverse kinematics in a thick target are relevant in several fields of experimental physics and technology, like secondary radioactive beams, production of exotic nuclei close to the proton drip line, and cross-section measurements for applications of spallation reactions for energy production and incineration of nuclear wastes. A general mat...
متن کاملProduction of light nuclides in 1 GeV proton-induced fission of U
A dedicated experimental program, devoted to reaching a full comprehension of the proton-induced spallation reactions, started in 1996 at the GSI. The accurate knowledge of these reactions is relevant both for the development of methods of incineration of radioactive waste [1] and for the production of secondary beams [2]. Within this program, the first ever complete survey on nuclide productio...
متن کاملMeasurement of nuclide cross - sections of spallation residues in 1 A GeV 238 U + proton collisions
The production of heavy nuclides from the spallation-evaporation reaction of U induced by 1 GeV protons was studied in inverse kinematics. The evaporation residues from tungsten to uranium were identified in-flight in mass and atomic number. Their production cross-sections and their momentum distributions were determined. The data are compared with empirical systematics. A comparison with previ...
