“…A beam of 17 F was produced in-flight through the 16 O(d, n) 17 F reaction with a beam of 16 O bombarding a gas cell containing deuterium gas. The beam of 17 F reaction residues was separated by means of the resolut radioactive ion beam facility [13] at the John D. Fox Accelerator Laboratory of Florida State University. The 17 F beam was focused onto a deuterated polyethylene (CD 2 ) target foil with a thickness of 520 µg/cm 2 located at the center of a compact detector system.…”

Experimental study of the $^{17}$F+ $^{12}$C fusion reaction and its implications for fusion of proton-halo systems

“…The experiment was performed at the John D. Fox accelerator laboratory at Florida State University (FSU). A 17 F radioactive beam was produced by the RESOLUT radioactive beam facility [24]. A stable 16 O beam from the SNICS ion source was accelerated to 64.5 MeV by the tandem Van de Graaff accelerator and boosted to 91.5 MeV by the coupled LINAC accelerator.…”

Assessing the impact of valence sd neutrons and protons on fusion

“…While the excitation function for fusion of 16,18 O, 19 F, and 20 Ne ions with a carbon target already exists, no data exists for 17 F+ 12 C or 18 Ne+ 12 C. To measure the excitation function for 17 F+ 12 C, a beam of 16 O ions, accelerated by the linac at Florida State University was incident on a deuterium gas cell at a pressure of 350 torr and cooled to a temperature of 77 K. This bombardment produced 17 F ions via a (d,n) reaction which were separated from the incident beam by the electromagnetic spectrometer RESOLUT [9]. The beam exiting the spectrometer consisted of both 17 F and residual 16 O ions necessitating identification of each ion on a particle-by-particle basis.…”
