The CARIBU gas catcher

Journal Article Savard, G. ; Levand, A. F. ; Zabransky, B. J. - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section B, Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms

The CARIBU upgrade of the ATLAS facility provides radioactive beams of neutron-rich isotopes for experiments at low and Coulomb barrier energies. It creates these beam using a large RF gas catcher that collects and cools fission fragments from an intense Cf-252 fission source and transforms them into a low-emittance monoenergetic beam. This beam can then be purified, reaccelerated and delivered to experiments. This technique is fast and universal, providing access to all fission fragment species independently of their chemical properties. The CARIBU gas catcher has been built to operate at high ionization density and in the presence of the contaminationmore »« less

Radioactive beams from {sup 252}Cf fission using a gas catcher and an ECR charge breeder at ATLAS.

Conference Pardo, R C ; Savard, G ; Moore, E F ; ...

An upgrade to the radioactive beam capability of the ATLAS facility has been proposed using {sup 252}Cf fission fragments thermalized and collected into a low-energy particle beam using a helium gas catcher. In order to reaccelerate these beams an existing ATLAS ECR ion source will be reconfigured as a charge breeder source. A 1 Ci{sup 252}Cf source is expected to provide sufficient yield to deliver beams of up to {approx}10{sup 6}far from stability ions per second on target. A facility description and the expected performance will be presented in this paper.

Charge Breeding of Radioactive Isotopes at the CARIBU Facility

Conference Vondrasek, Richard ; Dickerson, C. A. ; Hendricks, M. ; ...

An Electron Beam Ion Source Charge Breeder (EBIS-CB) has been developed at Argonne National Laboratory as part of the californium rare ion breeder upgrade. For the past year, the EBIS-CB has been undergoing commissioning as part of the ATLAS accelerator complex. It has delivered both stable and radioactive beams with A/Q < 6, breeding times < 30 ms, low background contamination, and charge breeding efficiencies > 18% into a single charge state. The operation of this device, challenges during the commissioning phase, and future improvements will be discussed. Published by AIP Publishing.
