Abstract
Theoretical issues concerning isotope separation by the ion cyclotron resonance method are considered. A version of the experimental ion cyclotron resonance setup and ways of producing a plasma stream are described. Techniques used to vaporize the working agent and its transport to the ioniation zone are discussed. The separating characteristics of the hot-particle collector at certain parameters of the setup and plasma are calculated. A gadolinium isotope mixture is used as a model. The dependence of the 157Gd target isotope concentration on the separating plate on the longitudinal coordinate reckoned from the front edge of the separator is analyzed for different frequency offsets. The target isotope extraction ratio versus the plate distance of the separator for different values of the offset from the resonance frequency is found.
