Description
Summary:EXCYT, a project for a low energy ISOL facility at LNS, has been funded. It is based on two already existing particle accelerators. A K = 800 superconducting cyclotron will deliver the primary beam of ions A ≤ 48, E = 50–80 MeV/amu. After its interaction in a thick target, the negatively ionized radioactive products ( A < 80) will be post-accelerated to 0.2–8 MeV/amu by a 15MV SMP tandem. A description of the facility, including the fully redesigned ion optics, an overview of the design problems and the expected secondary beam intensities are presented.
