EURISOL concept: 1. Production of the nuclide by nuclear reactions 2. Release from the target by ISOL technique 3. Ionization 4. Acceleration Experiments at EURISOL will rely on the required exotic nuclide with sufficient intensity to be available Nuclear reaction, release, ionization determine the technological limits.

Primary beam
Standard option: 1 GeV protons (Guided by experience at ISOLDE, because it has been successful for producing long isotopic chains of many elements.) Alternative options?

Target
The different aspects • production • heat load by the beam and nuclear reactions • release
must be combined. 1. Direct target
a. Protons interact directly with the target material
2. Indirect target a. Spallation neutron source (most of the heat load) b. Production target (few-MeV neutrons and release)

The ISOL process: Target materials
• Only few elements are suited as ISOL targets. • There exist gaps of about 20 elements for suitable targets.
![Page 12: Karl-Heinz Schmidt, GSIns.ph.liv.ac.uk/eurisol/Trento_talks/Schmidt.pdf · 2006. 2. 15. · Karl-Heinz Schmidt, GSI • EURISOL concept • Primary beam • Target geometries •](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071406/60fcefdfa2ee9f369a5338ee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ISOL Process: Release
Z-dependent features: • Volatility (refractory elements) • Ionisation • Isobaric contaminations
Features depending on half-life:
• Decay losses

Nuclear-reaction model for in-target production – 238U + p
![Page 15: Karl-Heinz Schmidt, GSIns.ph.liv.ac.uk/eurisol/Trento_talks/Schmidt.pdf · 2006. 2. 15. · Karl-Heinz Schmidt, GSI • EURISOL concept • Primary beam • Target geometries •](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071406/60fcefdfa2ee9f369a5338ee/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Correlation of ISOL yields with isotope half-life
• Comparison of ISOLDE-SC yields† to in-target production rates
• Ratio yield/produced → overall extraction efficiency for the nuclide.
• For a given element – target – ion source, the efficiency is correlated with the isotope half-life (S. Lukic)

Another case …
Universal behaviour, described by three parameters.

Systematics of decay losses
Composed by R. Kirchner from mg-target measurements at the GSI mass separator. Pink: Z separation requires Laser ionization. General rule: Slower release with increasing size and density of target!

132Sn – a very specific case
Double shell closure: • In mass range produced by low-energy fission • Enhanced production of neutron-rich isotopes (polarisation) • Long half-life (small decay losses, even for large targets) • Special scientific interest for nuclei around 132Sn (doubly
magic, r-process) In addition:
• High ISOL release efficiencies
![Page 20: Karl-Heinz Schmidt, GSIns.ph.liv.ac.uk/eurisol/Trento_talks/Schmidt.pdf · 2006. 2. 15. · Karl-Heinz Schmidt, GSI • EURISOL concept • Primary beam • Target geometries •](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071406/60fcefdfa2ee9f369a5338ee/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Alternative options Alternative projectiles for ISOL approach:
• Use of heavy projectiles at Fermi energy (replaces unavailable target material, exploits isospin diffusion)
• Use of 2 GeV primary beam (3He) Complex scenario:
1. p-n conversion 2. Fission of 238U 3. Fragmentation of 132Sn
Other options?

Benefit of 2 GeV beam (GSI experiments)
![Page 22: Karl-Heinz Schmidt, GSIns.ph.liv.ac.uk/eurisol/Trento_talks/Schmidt.pdf · 2006. 2. 15. · Karl-Heinz Schmidt, GSI • EURISOL concept • Primary beam • Target geometries •](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071406/60fcefdfa2ee9f369a5338ee/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Fragmentation of 132Sn (exemplified on 136Xe)
Production of neutron-rich isotopes by cold fragmentation • Filling the gap of refractive elements • Avoiding decay losses for short-lived isotopes
![Page 23: Karl-Heinz Schmidt, GSIns.ph.liv.ac.uk/eurisol/Trento_talks/Schmidt.pdf · 2006. 2. 15. · Karl-Heinz Schmidt, GSI • EURISOL concept • Primary beam • Target geometries •](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071406/60fcefdfa2ee9f369a5338ee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Fragmentation of 132Sn Arguments for the energy of the post-accelerator: Charge-states might cause impurity problems!

Conclusion In-target production: X + p (1 GeV) : good experimental knowledge from GSI experiments 238U + n : rather well understood
ISOL process (subject to improvements by R&D): • Restriction on target material (gaps of 20 elements) • Release from target not for all elements • Decay losses increase by factor of 4 for 1 neutron number • Ionization may have low efficiency
Extended options: • Consideration cost versus benefit – depend on demands
