Abstract

The radioactive isotope beam factory (RIBF) is an extension of present heavy ion accelerator facility at RIKEN. This chapter proposes the construction of an accelerator system of storage ring and collider at RIBF. The construction of the RIBF is separated into two phases. The accelerator complex is multi use experimental storage rings (MUSES). The MUSES is an accelerators complex consisting of RI beam separator, an accumulator cooler ring (ACR), a booster synchrotron ring, a 300-MeV electron linac, and double storage rings. An electron cooling device and a stochastic cooling device will be installed to cool down the RI beams in ACR. The accumulated and cooled RI beams will be transported to the double storage ring (DSR). The DSR is a new type of collider where the collision of RI beams with electron beams is planned to study the electromagnetic structure of unstable nuclei. The outline of the MUSES project and the plans of two typical experiments are described in the chapter.
