Abstract
The inaugural meeting has taken place of a collaboration that proposes to extract and use for research the radioactivity that is generated in accelerator components. The meeting, sponsored by the European Science Foundation, was organized by Dr. Dorothea Schumann, and took place at the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland in November 2006. Exotic radionuclides with comparatively long half-lives are of great interest in many research domains including astrophysics, nuclear structure, nuclear medicine, and geophysics. Radioactive beam facilities are essential tools for investigating these research areas, but using them to produce nuclides in sufficient amounts is both time consuming and expensive.
