Abstract
A novel technique for forming internal targets, named SCRIT (Self-Confining RI Ion Target), has been developed, which can make electron scattering off short-lived radioactive nuclei possible in an electron storage ring. SCRIT confines the ions of interest by utilizing the “ion trapping” phenomenon in the electron storage ring. Approximately 107 stable 133Cs ions were trapped in a three-dimensional configuration along the electron beam axis at an electron beam current of 75mA. The angular distribution of the electrons scattered from the trapped 133Cs ions was successfully measured, and a collision luminosity of 1026/(cm2 s) was achieved.
