SMI-2023: 14th International Conference on Stopping and Manipulation of Ions and Related Topics

The low-energy RI-beam production system by laser ionization, PALIS [1,2], is being developed at the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) SLOWRI facility. The small gas catcher cell was implemented in front of the second focal plane in the Superconducting Radioactive Isotope Beam Separator (BigRIPS). The ion extraction is based on the techniques of the Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line (IGISOL) and In-Gas laser ionization and Spectroscopy (IGLIS). PALIS is designed to enable low-energy RI-beam experiments by parasitic operation during the BigRIPS experiments. The presentation will consist of the current status of the development, commissioning results for off/on-line experiments and also introduce some peripheral equipment, such as the gas circulation system [3], optical components for long laser beam flight path[4].
