Laser isotope separation of ytterbium-168 weighable amounts on the LAD Ltd. installation

摘要

Abstract: The process of laser isotope separation of Yb have been studied with numerical simulation and experimentally. Installation which is capable to produce highly enriched $+168$/Yb in industrial scales was created. Contents of $+168$/Yb in laser produced plasma was reached 80 - 95%, in the deposited on the ion collector material - up to 62%, in washing liquid - up to 32%. The rate of the enriched ytterbium production was 3 - 6 mg/hour.!11
