Linear accelerators once used radioactive beams crudely shaped as blocks or rectangles.
At 12 57 p.m. — six minutes after yet another computer crash — the first of several radioactive beams was turned on.
These 'second generation' facilities will produce radioactive beams some 100 times as intense as those that can be achieved today.
Various aspects of the physical phenomena involved in the production of such radioactive beams are discussed.
TIGRESS is a new generation γ-ray spectrometer designed for use with radioactive beams from ISAC.
The development of thick gold targets for the production of radioactive beams of Fr+ is discussed.
At CERN, the ISOLDE facility is now being fitted with a post-accelerator called REX-ISOLDE, which should begin accelerating radioactive beams later this year.
The R3B experiment (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams) at FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) is a versatile setup dedicated to the study of reactions induced by high-energy radioactive beams.
This paper describes the program LISE which simulates the operation of fragment separators used to produce radioactive beams via fragmentation.
