The radioactive ion beam facility project for the LegnaroLaboratories

摘要

In the frame work of the Italian participation to the project of ahigh intensity proton facility for the energy amplifier and nuclearwaste transmutations, the LNL has been proposed a project for theconstruction of a second generation facility for the production ofradioactive ion beams (RIBs) by using the ISOL method. The final goalconsists in the production of neutron rich RIBs with masses ranging from80 to 160 by using primary beams of protons/deuterons with energy of 100MeV/u and 100 kW power. This project is proposed to be developed inabout 10 years from now and intermediate milestones and experiments areforeseen and under consideration for the next INFN five year plan(1999-2003). In such period of time is proposed the construction of adeuteron accelerator of 20 MeV energy and 5 mA current, consisting of aRFQ (5 MeV) and a linac (20 MeV), and of a neutron area dedicated to theRIBs production and other applications. Besides the RIBs production,neutron beams for the BNCT applications and neutron physics are alsoplanned
