Description
The RAON ISOL facility is currently in operation and is continuously expanding its portfolio of radioactive isotope (RI) beams through the development of new target materials and ion source techniques. The rich variety of RI beams will be available at the ISOL facility in near future and will open new opportunities across a broad range of physics programs, including nuclear structure, weak interaction studies, nuclear data evaluation, and nuclear astrophysics.
The Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS) brings together researchers with broad expertise in decay spectroscopy to pursue these programs. To support this effort, a suite of detection systems is being developed and commissioned at CENS. These include a decay station coupled with various detectors such as coaxial HPGe and ASGARD HPGe Clover detector arrays, X-ray detector, the SCEPTER conversion-electron detector, tape transport systems and etc. In addition, a total absorption spectrometer (TAS) and a polarized RI decay setup based on a dilution refrigerator are currently under development, further extending the physics reach of the program.
Two dedicated beamlines, STRAIT and HIPPIE, are under development to host these detector systems. STRAIT is designed for high-statistics measurements, while HIPPIE is optimized for high-precision experiments, together providing complementary capabilities for the full decay spectroscopy program at RAON.
