The Superconducting Solenoid
Rare-Isotope Beam Line

The Superconducting Solenoid Rare-Isotope Beam Line allows for production, separation, and the focusing of rare isotopes for nuclear reaction and nuclear structure studies. In addition rare isotopes will be focused and stopped in a gas cell in order to develop and test an Ion Guide-based rare ion beam (RIB) concept at the Texas A&M University Cyclotron Institute.

Fragments emitted in the range ~1-6 degrees enter the solenoid and are focused approximately 4-meters beyond at the intermediate focus. Groups of fragments may be selected using a circular aperture. The fragments are transported through a 7-meter line to the Final Focus with the quadrapole triplet.

The large-bore 7-Tesla superconducting solenoid from the University of Michigan is installed as the major component of the beam line. A primary production target is located approximately 1-meter upstream from the solenoid is bombarded with high-intensity beams. The unreacted beam will be collected on a cylindrical Faraday cup placed at an appropriate distance after the target.
