Notes:
For an isotope separator on-line based radioactive nuclear beam facility at KEK-Tanashi, two different types of ion sources are currently employed: a single stage 6.4 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source for 18Ne2+ and 19Ne2+ ions and a surface ionization-type ion source for 8Li1+ ions. The production target for Ne radioisotopes is LiF powder. Enclosed in a water-cooled Cu target cell, the target can sustain proton beam power of 120 W for a long term. The methods to suppress unwanted isotopes, like 19F in 19Ne and 18O in 18Ne, are discussed. For the production of 8Li1+ with the surface ionization-type ion source, a recoil-catcher method is adopted. The feasibility is discussed, comparing to a thick target method. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
