Description

The ALTO facility (Accelerateur Lineaire et Tandem d'Orsay) at Institut de Physique Nucleaire d'Orsay is under commissioning. The aim of this facility is to provide neutron rich isotope beams for both nuclear physics study (away from the valley of stability) and developments dedicated to next generation facilities such as SPIRAL2. The neutron rich isotopes are produced by photofission of 238U induced by the 50 MeV electrons from the linear accelerator. The isotopes coming out of the fission target effuse towards an ion source to form a beam that is analyzed through the on line separator PARRNe. Additional experimental beam lines are currently under construction. Experimental data will be presented and compared to simulations. (author)
