Radioactive Ion Beams from Uranium Carbide Targets at HRIBF
Abstract
The Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) utilizes the ISOL (Isotope-Separator-On-Line) technique to produce radioactive ions that can then be accelerated in a 25-MV tandem electrostatic accelerator up to energies that are useful for nuclear reactions. Neutron-rich radioactive nuclei (e.g.,^80As, ^90Br, and ^132Sn) have been produced in a uranium carbide target using proton-induced fission and subsequently ionized in an Electron Beam Plasma Ion Source (EBPIS). Details of the target matrix and recent tests of radioactive ion beam yields from this target/ion source system will be described.
