Production of Short-Lived Isotopes at the ISOLDE on-Line Mass-Separator.

摘要

A survey of the target and ion-source techniques used at the ISOLDE isotope separators for production of short-lived mass-separated nuclei is given. The production of high intensity beams of radioactive nuclei by bombardment of thick targets with 600 MeV protons or 910 MeV sup 3 He is discussed. The release properties of different refractory target materials is presented, as well as the influence of reactive gases and the development of ion sources. Results of on-line tests are given. 23 refs., 16 figs. (ERA citation 14:007514)
