The SPES laser ion source has been tested at ISOLDE Offline 2, CERN. A two-step single resonance photo-ionization scheme used to ionize gallium atoms in the tantalum hot-cavity source. beam time structure, enhancement of yield, and ionization efficiency are investigated relation temperature load. From structures, it is inferred that a significant fraction extracted ions generated transfer line rather than just hot cavity. effect electrostatic axial field on movement inside discussed....
The Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) method for the production of Radioactive Ion Beams (RIB) is attracting significant interest in worldwide nuclear physics community. Within this context SPES (Selective Production Exotic Species) RIB facility now under construction at INFN LNL (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare Laboratori Nazionali Legnaro). This technique established as one main techniques high intensity and quality beams production. will produce n-rich isotopes by means a 40 MeV...
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 The Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is an Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology suitable to produce almost free-form metallic components. At Legnaro National Laboratories (LNL) of the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), LPBF process was recently used parts Forced Electron Beam Induced Arc Discharge (FEBIAD) ion source SPES Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) facility. In this work are presented feasibility assessment and production steps tantalum cathodes produced via AM; in...
An intense research and development activity to finalize the design of target ion source system for selective production exotic species (SPES) facility (operating according isotope separation on line technique) is at present ongoing Legnaro National Laboratories. In particular, characterization sources in terms ionization efficiency transversal emittance currently progress, a preliminary set data already available. this work, off-line measurements SPES forced electron beam induced arc...
Ion sources and target systems play a crucial role in isotope separation on line facilities, determining the main characteristics of radioactive ion beams available for experiments. In context selective production exotic species (SPES) facility, 40 MeV, 200 μA proton beam directly impinges uranium carbide target, generating approximately 1013 fissions per second. The isotopes produced by 238U are delivered to 1+ source means tubular transfer line. Here they can be ionized subsequently...
Materials and components employed in the presence of intense neutron gamma fields are expected to absorb high dose levels that may induce deep modifications their physical mechanical properties, possibly causing loss function. A protocol for irradiating elastomeric materials reactor mixed testing evolution main properties with absorbed has been developed. Four compounds used vacuum O-rings, one fluoroelastomer polymer (FPM) based three ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) based,...
