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

Gas stopping of energetic projectile fragments has been an important pathway to science with stopped and reaccelerated beams at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) for almost two decades. The NSCL has transitioned into the recently opened Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) to provide significantly more exotic and more intense exotic beams, prompting upgrades to the...

A new cryogenic ion catcher filled with helium gas has been commissioned at the ZeroDegree spectrometer following BigRIPS at RIKEN/RIBF for the thermalization of high-energy RI beams from the BigRIPS beamline, as a part of the SLOWRI facility. The ion catcher is combined with a multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrograph and both are located downstream of the ZeroDegree spectrometer....

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...

The superconducting Linear Accelerator (SPIRAL2-LINAC) coupled with the Super Separator Spectrometer (S3) will allow GANIL to produce neutron-deficient and super heavy nuclei via fusion-evaporation reactions. At the focal plane of S3, the S3-Low Energy Branch (S3-LEB) setup will stop and neutralize the exotic ions before performing in-gas-jet resonant laser ionization that would allow...

The HADO-CSC, an acronym for High Areal Orthogonal Extraction Cryogenic Stopping Cell, is a cutting-edge ion catcher design utilized in the creation and extraction of radioactive ion beams (RIBs).

The design consists of two gas chambers arranged orthogonally to one another, that allow for a quicker extraction process compared to existing longitudinal ion catchers. It operates by utilizing...
