The SPES Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) facility at INFN-LNL is in the construction phase. It based on ISOL method with an UCx Direct Target able to sustain a power of 10 kW. primary proton beam delivered by high current Cyclotron accelerator, energy 35-70 MeV and 0.2-0.5 mA. Neutron-rich radioactive ions will be produced induced Uranium fission target expected rate order 1013 fissions per second. exotic isotopes re-accelerated ALPI superconducting LINAC energies 10A higher, for masses region...
Abstract Worldwide efforts to tackle the nature of exotic nuclei comprise construction new-generation Radioactive Ion Beam facilities. The Italian community is deeply involved in process and SPES at Legnaro National Laboratories (INFN) progressing. This contribution describes layout all its flavours, from Nuclear Physics Applications Medicine Neutron Physics. In particular, status SPES-β ISOL facility, together with some relevant physics cases associated equipment are described.
A test setup able to accommodate dish shaped electrodes for gaps up /spl sim/20 cm is being used study large gap effects. This experiment, in connection with other authors' experiments, underlines the three more characteristic aspects of case: a voltage effect, current effect and gas effect. The difficulty energy dissipation by surface processes at increasing penetration depth deposit gives an interesting interpretative perspective behavior gap, HV devices.
SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) is an ISOL type facility for production and post-acceleration exotic nuclei forefront research in nuclear physics. Radioactive (RA) species (A = 80÷160) will be produced by fissions induced a proton beam impinging on UCx target: the delivered commercial cyclotron with 40 MeV maximum energy 0.25 mA current. The RA species, extracted from Target-Ion-Source system as 1+ beam, cooled RFQ (radiofrequency quadrupole) cooler (RFQ-BC) purified isobars...
A new Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) facility (SPES) is presently under construction at the Legnaro National Laboratories of INFN. The SPES based on ISOL method using an UCx Direct Target able to sustain a power 8 kW. primary proton beam provided by high current Cyclotron accelerator with energy 35-70 MeV and 0.2-0.7 mA. Neutron-rich radioactive ions are produced induced fission Uranium target expected rate order 1013 fissions per second. After ionization selection exotic isotopes re-accelerated...
The Selective Production of Exotic Species (SPES) project is presently under development at INFN-LNL: aim this the production, ionization and postacceleration radioactive ions to perform forefront research in nuclear physics. An ECR-based charge breeder (SPES-CB) will allow post-acceleration ions: particular, SPES-CB has been designed developed by LPSC Grenoble, based on Phoenix booster. It be equipped with a complete test bench totally integrated SPES beam line: part post-accelerator,...

The includes an Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR)-based Charge Breeder (SPES-CB) and its complete beam line, as well newly designed RFQ, to allow post-acceleration radioactive ions produced in so-called target-ion source-system. has different peculiarities, deriving from particular needs SPES: electrostatic line equipped with 1+...
Abstract The ADIGE (Acceleratore Di Ioni a Grande carica Esotici) injector of the SPES (Selective Production Exotic Species) project is now in an advanced phase installation. Its main components have been designed following particular needs project: first, Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR)-based Charge Breeder (SPES-CB), to boost charge states radioactive ions produced at and allow their post-acceleration. Then, stable 1+ source complete electrostatic beam line characterize SPES-CB....
