Late Morning Session
The GANIL (Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds) in Caen has been producing and accelerating stable and radioactive ion beams for nuclear physics, atomic physics, radiobiology and materials irradiation since 1982.
On cyclotrons facility, two ion sources (ECR4 and ECR4M) are used to produce around 4,000 hours per year of gaseous and metallic beams. Recently, studies have been carried out...
Rare isotope beams are used at the ISAC facility at TRIUMF for studies mainly in nuclear and astrophysics, but also for applications ranging from material science to medicine. The isotopes are produced via the ISOL technique and ionized via a set of different ion sources depending on the application. In cases where highly charged ions are needed, charge state breeding is done with a 14.5 GHz...
Within the framework of research on simultaneous heavy ion radiotherapy and radiography, a mixed carbon/helium ion beam with a variable He percentage has been successfully established and investigated at GSI for the first time in order to study this new mode of image guidance for carbon ion beam therapy.
The mixed C/He ion beam was provided by the 14.5 GHz CAPRICE ECR ion source for the...
