 The Office of Science - National Laboratories and User Facilities   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
HRIBF at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, began operation in early 1997 providing accelerated radioactive ion beams (RIBs) for research in nuclear structure physics and nuclear astrophysics.
The HRIBF incorporates two previously existing ORNL accelerators with a newly constructed RIB injector system (high voltage production target and ion source platform together with two stages of mass separation) into a coupled system for the production and acceleration of radioactive ions.
The facility is based on the isotope separator on-line (ISOL) method using the k=100 Oak Ridge Isochronous Cyclotron (ORIC) to provide intense light-ion (p, d, ^3,4He) beams for production of radioactive species and the 25 MV ORNL Tandem to accelerate the RIBs to energies required for nuclear physics research.
