A review of radioactive beam facilities in the world
- Simon Fraser Univ., British Columbia (Canada)
Ion beams of radioactive isotopes have been used for over 25 years in studies of the properties of unstable nuclei. Within the past 8 years technological advances have provided the opportunity to produce radioactive beams (RB) with energies and intensities sufficient to perform reactions of interest to nuclear astrophysics, to nuclear structure studies at the extremes, to possibly new paths to heavy element synthesis, to tests of the Standard Model of Electroweak Interactions among the many unique scientific opportunities. Facilities now exist around the world which produce both high energy RB using the PFM (Projectile Fragmentation Method) and low energy RB using the ISOL approach coupled to a post-accelerator. Further, these facilities have also led to renewed interest in the associated technologies including ion source and accelerator developments. In this talk a comparative review and status of RB facilities (proposed, funded and operating) around the world of both production methods will be given with particular emphasis on those utilizing the ISOL approach.
