Abstract:
The Beijing ISOL is a joint venture proposed by the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) and Peking University (PKU). This facility will operate based on a dual driver system, including reactor driving and intense deuteron-beam driving modes. The Beijing ISOL will deliver intensive rare ion beams of very neutron-rich isotopes, and the intensity of these beams will be of the order of at least 1-2 magnitudes higher than currently available ones. The intense deuteron accelerator proposed in this project will be able to generate intense neutron beam. These beams will be able to probe nuclear materials and will provide vital results to push forward the boundaries of nuclear physics.
