Abstract

Recently, high-energy heavy ions have been used in various fields of nuclear physics, material physics and medical application, especially cancer therapy. At the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) in Chiba, Japan, the HI- MAC (Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba ) has been used for the heavy ion cancer therapy for the last three years, and the GSI (Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung) in Germany has just started heavy ion cancer therapy. Several institutes in the world have started or planned to build the radioactive beam facility where high-energy radioactive heavy ions are used for investigating exotic nuclei, nuclear synthesis and so on.
