“…Over the last decades, the scientific community has seen a growing interest in the production of Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) according to the Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) technique. A key role has been played by important international facilities such as ISOLDE [1], ISAC [2], HRIBF [3], SPIRAL [4] and ALTO [5]. Nowadays, several new facilities are under construction around the world, and the Selective Production of Exotic Species (SPES) project represents the contribution of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN).…”

In the facilities for the production of Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) according to the Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) technique, a production target is typically impinged by a high-power primary beam, generating radioactive isotopes for basic research and technological applications. With the aim to guarantee an efficient extraction of the aforementioned isotopes, the production target must work in a high vacuum environment, at temperatures that are usually between 1600 °C and 2200 °C. Its main components are often characterized by intense temperature gradients and consequently by severe thermal stresses. Carbides are widely used for target manufacturing, and in this work a specific method for their thermal and mechanical characterization is presented and discussed. It is based on the comparison between experimental measurements and numerical simulations, with the introduction of the novel Virtual Thermoelastic Parameters approach for the structural verification procedure. High-performance silicon carbides (SiC) are taken as a reference to describe the method. Measured emissivity and thermal conductivity data are presented and discussed, together with the experimental estimation of material limitations for both temperature and stress fields. The aforementioned results can be promptly used for the design process of high-power ISOL targets.

“…One of the options for the production of neutron-rich isotopes is by utilizing photofission. This is realized at the ALTO (Accélŕateur Linéaire aurès du Tandem d'Orsay) facility at Orsay, France [10], where an linear accelerator is used to deliver a 10 µA electron beam with energy of 50 MeV. The beam hits a converter and the resulting bremsstrahlung photons irradiate a 238 UC x target.…”

“…Present-day photonuclear studies address measurements of photofission product yields [6,7], and kinetic energy, mass, charge and angular momentum distributions of fission fragments [8,9]. Photofission is also utilized for the production of beams of neutron-rich isotopes [10]. In this paper, the opportunities for production of rare isotope beams (RIBs) within the Gamma Factory experiment [11] at CERN are discussed, as well as the current technological developments which are under investigation at ELI-NP for the efficient transport and extraction of ions of exotic neutron-rich isotopes.…”

An overview of the main directions of present-day studies with quasimonochromatic γ beams are discussed with an emphasis on the research opportunities which will be offered at the Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility at Magurele near Bucharest in Romania. Experiments with γ beams at the extremes of high temperature and high neutron-to-proton ratios are outlined. Some of the experimental setups for nuclear structure, reaction and astrophysics studies, which are available at ELI-NP, are described. Perspectives for studies of exotic nuclei within the Gamma Factory experiment at CERN are discussed. The expected fission-fragment yields at the Gamma Factory are presented. The perspectives for nuclear structure studies with γ rays with orbital angular momentum are outlined.
