51. CHALLENGES, STATUS AND PLAN OF FRIB HIGH POWER BEAM INTERCEPT-ING DEVICES TOWARD 400 KW OPERATION

Takuji Kanemura (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, Michigan State University)

31/08/2026, 09:20

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for rare isotope research supporting the mission of the Office of Nuclear Physics. FRIB houses a continuous wave superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) linear accelerator to accelerate all ions with atomic numbers 1 through 92 to energies of 200 MeV/u or higher. FRIB currently operates...

8. Charge-state distributions of uranium and lead beams in RI-beam production at BigRIPS

The superconducting in-flight RI-beam separator BigRIPS produces RI beams by bombarding a beryllium target with heavy-ion beams such as uranium and lead at 345 MeV/nucleon. In recent years, the production of heavy RI beams in the Z>70 region by projectile fragmentation has been actively studied.
Heavy ions change their charge states when passing through materials in the separator and are...

4. Latest news and projects from the GANIL Targets Laboratory

Christelle Stodel (GANIL)

31/08/2026, 10:00

The growing number of experiments at GANIL has led to a significant increase in target demand—from approximately 50 units annually to an anticipated 500+. Moreover, the materials required for these targets have grown more complex, now including rare earth elements and natural uranium. This shift necessitates not only a larger quantity of targets but also enhanced quality, with stringent...

13. CERN-ISOLDE targets for radioactive ion beam production

Simon Stegemann (CERN)

31/08/2026, 10:20

For more than 50 years CERN-ISOLDE has been producing a wide range of radioactive ion beams (RIBs) using the isotope separation on-line (ISOL) method. Central to ISOLDE’s beam portfolio is its diverse selection of thick target materials and the high energy proton beam (1.4-1.7 GeV) both driving the radionuclide production. Isotopes are generated via spallation, fission and fragmentation...
