Progress in the Realization and Commissioning of the Exotic Beam Facility SPES at INFN-LNL
2018
SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) is an ISOL type facility for production and post-acceleration of exotic nuclei for forefront research in nuclear physics. Radioactive (RA) species (A = 80÷160) will be produced by fissions induced by a proton beam impinging on an UCx target: the proton beam will be delivered by a commercial cyclotron with a 40 MeV maximum energy and a 0.25 mA maximum current. The RA species, extracted from the Target-Ion-Source system as a 1+ beam, will be cooled in a RFQ (radiofrequency quadrupole) beam cooler (RFQ-BC) and purified from the isobars contaminants through a High Resolution Mass Separator (HRMS). Post-acceleration will be performed via an ECR-based charge breeder, delivering the obtained q+ RA beam to a being built CW RFQ and to the being upgraded superconducting (sc) linac ALPI (up to 10 MeV/A for a mass-to-charge ratio A/q = 7).
