Characteristics of Rare Isotope Beams in the KoRIA Facility

초록

The Korea Rare Isotope Accelerator (KoRIA) facility plans to provide neutron-rich rare isotopes (RIs) and stable heavy ion beams for research in the fields of basic and applied sciences. In the facility, both the isotope separator on-line (ISOL) and the in-flight fragmentation (IFF) methods are employed for RI production by U-238 fission, which is effective for producing neutron-rich RI beams. These ISOL and IFF systems are designed to obtain world-class RI beam intensity, which allows exotic nuclei near the neutron drip line in the nuclear chart, which have not yet been explored, to be studied. In this paper, the uniqueness of the KoRIA facility under consideration, compared to other facilities, is described, and we present the characteristics of the RI beams that will be available at KoRIA.
