Description
Since 2023, the RAON accelerator facility has been operating its low-energy accelerator and experimental systems, steadily producing its scientific achievements in rare isotope science. These early successes have demonstrated the capability of the facility and established a strong foundation for future scientific programs.
To further strengthen international collaboration, the IBS TOPTIER (Top-Tier Platform in the Extremely Rare Isotope Science Project) was launched in 2024. Through this initiative, RAON has established close partnerships with leading rare isotope research facilities, including the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) in Japan. The TOPTIER project promotes collaborative research, researcher exchange, joint workshops and schools, and the development of long-term strategic partnerships in rare isotope science.
This presentation introduces the current status of RAON, highlights recent scientific and technical achievements, and outlines the progress of the IBS TOPTIER project in fostering international collaboration to advance the next generation of rare isotope science.
