Recent progress in the construction of KoBRA for low-energy nuclear physics experiments

초록

A multi-purpose experimental instrument, called as KoBRA (Korea Broad acceptance Recoil spectrometer and Apparatus), has been constructed for low-energy nuclear physics experiments at RAON (Rare Isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line experiments), and is being prepared in order to produce rare isotope beams at an energy of about 20 MeV/nucleon during the first beam commissioning phase. A test was performed to measure the positions of 4He ions at the dispersive and achromatic foci of KoBRA using an 241Am α-source placed at the production target position, so as to examine the momentum dispersion and ion beam transport. We report on the results of the test and the detailed design of KoBRA including ion optics, together with the status of detectors for particle identification of rare isotopes.
