Abstract
The RARF has a heavy‐ion accelerator complex consisting of a K540‐MeV ring cyclotron as a booster accelerator and two different types of injectors. The facility provides not only nuclear physicists but also researchers of atomic physics, nuclear chemistry, material science, radiobiology and others with various kinds of heavy‐ion beams of an energy range of 10 MeV/nucleon to 100 MeV/nucleon. One of remarkable features of this facility is capability of supplying RI (radioactive isotope) beams with the world‐highest level of intensities. In these several years the RI beam has opened up a quite new and fascinating heavy‐ion science. In order to further promote this new science, we propose ‘‘RIKEN RI Beam Factory’’ as a future project of the RARF: The existing facility will be expanded into the ‘‘Factory’’ where high‐intensity RI beams of the whole mass range will become available in a wide energy range up to several hundred MeV/nucleon. The concept of this new proposal as well as currently‐running upgrade programs relevant to the project will be presented.
