BEARS: Radioactive Ion Beams at Berkeley

Description

A light-isotope radioactive ion beam capability has been added to the 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory by coupling to the production cyclotron of the Berkeley Isotope Facility. The connection required the development and construction of a 350 m gas transport system between the two accelerators as well as automated cryogenic separation of the produced activity. The first beam developed, 11C, has been successfully accelerated with an on-target intensity of 1 x 108 ions/sec at energies of around 10 MeV/u
