ISOL module system for RAON ISOL facility

Abstract

RAON (Rare Isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line experiments) heavy ion accelerator facility in Korea is preparing for producing rare isotopes using Isotope Separation On-line (ISOL) facility. Rare isotopes will be produced by a 70 MeV proton beam incident on the target system. Expecting the harsh radiation environment of the target area, the module system has been adopted. The module system in the ISOL facility consists of target ion source (TIS), rare isotope (RI) transport, and proton beam diagnostic modules. In order to handle and maintain the module system, the remote handling (RH) systems are developed and tested.
