An activity of the TRIUMF automatic beam tuning program, Bayesian optimization for Ion Steering (BOIS) method has been developed to perform corrective centroid steering beams at ISAC facility. BOIS exclusively controls steerers correction after transverse optics have set according theory. The is fully online, easy deploy, and tested in low energy post-accelerated ISAC, achieving results comparable human operators. scaleBOIS boundBOIS are naïve proof-of-concept solutions preferably select...
This Letter reports on the first cross-section measurements for Sr94(α,n)Zr97 and Kr86(α,n)Sr89 reactions. In particular, our measurement of is weak r-process reaction cross section obtained using a radioactive ion beam. experiment was enabled by use novel solid helium targets, comprised silicon thin films with high incorporation via sputtering technique. Yield were performed at center-of-mass energies 10.4 9.0 MeV reaction, 9.9 Sr94(α,n)Zr97, extending into respective Gamow energy windows...
