SIRIUS: A Proposal for an accelerated Radioactive Beams Facility at ISIS
- CLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon, OX11 0QX (United Kingdom)
A Proposal for a future Radioactive Beams Facility has been developed based on ISIS, the world's brightest pulsed neutron source. Radioactive ions are produced by the spallation process driven by a 100 {mu}A, 800 MeV proton beam delivered from the ISIS synchrotron accelerator. This is ten times more powerful than currently available in the world today, and follows on from the successful work performed by the RIST project to develop a high power radioactive beam target for such a facility. The proposed design provides for both low (200 keV), and high energy (10 MeV/A) radioactive beams with high to medium mass resolution. A flexible facility layout allows the maximum simultaneous and independent use of the radioactive beams by a number of different users. An overview of the proposed facility is presented.
