Abstract
To achieve high-resolution selection and separation of mono-isotopic beams through projectile fragmentation or in-flight fission and to efficiently transport the secondary beams to the Rare-RI Ring (R3) for mass determination, the BigRIPS separator combined with the High-resolution Achromatic (HA) beam-line of SHARAQ is served as a two-stage separator. The first stage from F0 to F2 is used for separation of the nuclei of interest through a Bρ-ΔE-Bρ method and the second stage from F3 to S0 is employed for identification of the beam with a Bρ-ΔE-TOF method. With this scheme, all the secondary ions can be well separated on an event by event basis and be utilized for mass measurements by two complementary methods: the conventional magnetic-rigidity-time-of-flight (Bρ-TOF) method employing the BigRIPS-HA beam-line to measure exotic nuclides within 1 μ s and the newly established isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS) approach via the R3 with a measurement duration less than 1 ms. This report presents the technique advances of the BigRIPS-HA-SHARAQ-R3 as a separator/spectrometer and give a brief description of its application to the complementary TOF methods for mass measurements at RIBF.
