High intensity targets for ISOL, historical and practical perspectives
2008, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and AtomsCitation Excerpt :Active interest in nuclear astrophysics reaction studies using accelerated RIB coincided with the award of the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physics to William A. Fowler “for his theoretical and experimental studies of the nuclear reactions of importance in the formation of the chemical elements in the universe” [3]. In the 1980s, some astrophysical reaction studies were already being performed with radioactive beams produced by projectile fragmentation [4–7], however, the existing facilities could not meet the intensity requirements of many potential experiments. The requirement for higher intensity radioactive beams soon resulted in a proliferation of workshops [8–11], design studies [12,13] and facility proposals [14,15] based on using intense primary beams irradiating thick ISOL targets to produce intense RIB that could subsequently be accelerated using a second dedicated accelerator.
