3 - Isotopically enriched and radioactive targets
Invited
The US Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, Isotope Program has a mission to produce and distribute enriched stable and radioactive isotopes for research. Part of this effort is located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and includes the Enriched Stable Isotope Prototype Plant, Radiochemical Engineering Development Center, High Flux Isotope Reactor, and various other facilities...

3 - Isotopically enriched and radioactive targets
Oral
As part of the proposal to DOE-NP for the Center for Accelerator Target Science (CATS) initiative, one of the objectives was to develop an inventory of existing targets that will serve as a pool available to the community. Targets collections have been recovered from Yale University due to the closing of their Tandem Accelerator Facility. In addition, accumulated targets from target...

Thin, isotopic 14C foils are of great interest to the nuclear physics community as neutron-rich targets. Historically, these foils have been extremely difficult to prepare and an effort is underway to make them readily available. The stock material of 14C available at Argonne contains a number of oxide impurities (SiO2, MgO, and Al2O3), which affect the composition and stability of the...

Oral
Neutron cross-section measurements require samples, called "targets", with specific properties depending on the reaction being studied and the quantities being measured. The target characteristics influence the results of these measurements and can have a strong impact on the total uncertainty in neutron cross-section data, which are important for the nuclear industry and in research.
This...

Oral
This contribution presents the production and the characterization of rare isotopes targets, at the Paul Scherrer Institut, for neutron cross section measurements in energy ranges of interest for nuclear physics and astrophysics. Particular emphasis is given to the chemical characterization of the starting material, which can drastically influence the outcome of the entire cross section...

Pairing correlations play a crucial role in determining the properties and structure of atomic nuclei. The evolution of these correlations in exotic nuclei has received much attention in recent years, as new accelerator facilities are providing unique radioactive beams for study. Of particular interest is the role of neutron-neutron pairing in neutron-rich isotopes, where the effects of weak...
