Description
The Rare Isotope Accelerator complex ON-line experiment (RAON) is being developed as the flagship Radioactive Isotope (RI) facility for fundamental researches and applications in Korea.
RAON involves the use of RI beams for the production of RI, with purpose of expand our research filed to encompass with more exotic region.
Achieving this initiative, a high-power Isotope Separator On-Line (ISOL) facility is required. Additionally, doors of precise nuclear physics experiment with high statistics and opportunity of application studies such as material science and cancer therapy can be opened by high-quality and high-intensity RI beams from ISOL. For the purposes, we are developing a high-power ISOL facility,
The ISOL facility at RAON consists of a proton cyclotron, a target ion source (TIS) [1][2], a pre-mass separator beamline[3][4], a radio frequency quadrupole cooler buncher (RFQCB), an electron beam ion source (EBIS) [5] and an A/q beamline [3][4]. Construction, installation and commissioning with stable isotope beams have been completed, and it has been confirmed that all of the requirements have been satisfied [3].
RI beam extraction experiments are currently being conducted with various production targets [4].
In this presentation, the experimentally obtained beamline performances and the partial results of RI beam extraction tests will be reported. Additionally, future development plans of beamline will be discussed.
