The Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory: Present Status and Future

نویسنده

  • G. D. Alton
چکیده

The Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HFUBF) is a first generation national user facility for nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics research with radioactive ion beams (RIBs). The reconfiguration, construction, and equipment-commissioning phases have been completed and the beam development program is in progress. In this article, descriptions of the facility and newly implemented experimental equipment for use in the nuclear and astrophysics programs will be given and an outline of the initial experimental program will be presented. Special targethon source related problems, endemic to the production of specific short-lived RIBS will be discussed. In addition, plans, which involve either a 200-MeV or a 1-GeV proton-linac driver for a second-generation ISOL facility, will be presented.

First Direct Measurement of the 17 F ( p , γ ) 18 Ne Cross Section

The rate of the 17F(p,γ)18Ne reaction is of significant importance in astrophysical events like novae and x-ray bursts. The decay of 17F is thought to help drive the expansion of the nova envelope, and the 17F(p,γ)18Ne reaction affects the production of 18F, a target of gamma-ray astronomy, as well as being an important link in the (α ,p) reaction chain during the ignition phase of x-ray bursts...

Production of negatively charged radioactive ion beams

Beams of short-lived radioactive nuclei are needed for frontier experimental research in nuclear structure, reactions, and astrophysics. Negatively charged radioactive ion beams have unique advantages and allow for the use of a tandem accelerator for post-acceleration, which can provide the highest beamquality and continuously variable energies. Negative ion beams can be obtainedwith high inten...
