Description
fragments will be thermalized in an existing gas catcher and formed into beams for stopped and reaccelerated experiments. A 6 MeV, 0.5 mA proton cyclotron will bombard a 7Li target to generate the needed neutrons. This configuration will replace the current source of radioactive ions, a thin plating of spontaneously fissioning 252Cf. nuCARIBU is expected to increase the overall intensity of n-rich ions, and improve the consistency and reliability of radioactive ion beam production. This paper will present the results of the recent installation and commissioning of the cyclotron and initial proton beam delivery.
