Masters Theses

Radioactive ion beams (RIBs) provide a method for studying the properties of increasingly exotic nuclei. For many nuclei, the intensity of the RIB available in the isotope separation on-line (ISOL) technique is limited by the relatively long delay time in the target/ion source system (TISS). New techniques are needed to decrease this delay time, thereby increasing the intensity of the RIBs available for study.

The sulfide molecular sideband was discovered in 2001 as a way to greatly enhance the quality of Sn beams. Holdup measurements were performed at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) to determine the extent to …
