Notes:
An on-line laser ion source has been developed and coupled to an on-line isotope separator for the production of isotopically and isobarically pure beams of radioactive ions. It is based on element-selective resonant laser ionization of nuclear reaction products thermalized and neutralized in a high-pressure noble gas after their recoil out of the target. Pure beams of 54,55Ni and 54Co, produced in a light-ion-induced fusion-evaporation reaction, and of 113Rh, produced in a proton-induced fission of 238U, were obtained. A preliminary efficiency of the ion source of ∼6% for fusion reactions and of ∼0.2% for fission reactions has been obtained. A selectivity of the ion source of 300 for fusion and 50 for fission reactions limited by the evacuation of non-neutralized reaction products has been achieved. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
