The production of exotic neutron-rich ion beams from photofission of the actinide targets in an IGISOL facility will be studied via an experimental program that will take place at the Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility. Geant4 simulation toolkit was used for optimizing the target configuration in order to maximize the rate of released photofission fragments from targets placed in a cell filled with He gas

“…Accurate calculations for production cross sections of fragments produced by 238 U photofission at low energies over the whole energy region of the giant dipole resonance (GDR) are required for estimating the production yields of neutron-rich fragments and optimizing nuclear physics experiments at the planned IGISOL facility at ELI-NP. The gamma beam used at this IGISOL facility will cover a wide energy range between about 10 and 18.5 MeV [1][2][3].…”

“…As an example, production rates of 132 Sn and 134 Te in the 238 U targets with a total thickness of 251 µm are about 2×10 4 and 2×10 5 ions/s, respectively, according to calculations by the GIF 238 U parametrization for the IGISOL facility at ELI-NP. At the gamma production point, the total intensity of the gamma beam with a broad energy distribution between 10 and 18.5 MeV is conservatively estimated to be 5×10 10 γ/s for the above calculations of day-one experiments, while it can be improved to be around 1×10 12 γ/s for future experiments [1][2][3]. The 238 U target in the gas cell is placed around 7 m after this gamma production point.…”

Production of neutron-rich nuclei approaching r-process by gamma-induced fission of ²³⁸U at ELI-NP

et al. 2018

The investigation of neutron-rich exotic nuclei is crucial not only for nuclear physics but also for nuclear astrophysics. Experimentally, only few neutron-rich nuclei near the stability have been studied, however, most neutron-rich nuclei have not been measured due to their small production cross sections as well as short half-lives. At ELI-NP, gamma beams with high intensities will open new opportunities to investigate very neutron-rich fragments produced by photofission of 238U targets in a gas cell. Based on some simulations, a novel gas cell has been designed to produce, stop and extract 238U photofission fragments. The extraction time and efficiency of photofission fragments have been optimized by using SIMION simulations. According to these simulations, a high extraction efficiency and a short extraction time can be achieved for 238U photofission fragments in the gas cell, which will allow one to measure very neutron-rich fragments with short half-lives by using the IGISOL facility proposed at ELI-NP.

Radioactive Ion Beam Production at the Gamma Factory

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A very intense γ beam of the Gamma Factory facility proposed at CERN can be used to generate radioactive ion beams (RIBs) with high production yields and study the structure of exotic neutron‐rich nuclei. The radioactive nuclides are generated via photo‐fission in several actinide targets and thermalized in high‐purity cryogenic helium, filling a gas cell which is enclosing the targets. Electric fields are used to extract heavy ions and form RIBs which can be send to various selection and measurement stations. Estimates for the production and extraction yields of exotic neutron‐rich nuclei with such a setup are provided. A study of the impact of space charge, build‐up inside the gas cell, on the extraction properties is presented and it is demonstrated that the beam needs to be chopped for achieving optimal extraction yields.
