Status report for the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility
- and others
In 1992, the HHIRF became a project to develop a first-generation radioactive ion beam facility, the HRIBF, a national user facility for RIB research. Intense beams from ORIC will produce radioactive atoms as reaction products in thick targets using an ISOL-type target-ion source mounted on a 300-kV RIB injector. These radioactive atoms will be ionized, mass analyzed, charge exchanged, accelerated to ground potential, and analyzed again to separate isobars with a second-stage mass analyzer. The resulting RIBs will be injected into the tandem and accelerated to energies of interest for nuclear physics and astrophysics studied. The construction phase of the project has been completed. A report on the status and progress developing the facility is given, along with the long term development plans.
