2 7Li + D-> 8Li + p - Beam: Li-7, target: D - gas
Main idea – “Beam cooling with ionisation losses” – C. Rubbia, A Ferrari, Y. Kadi and V. Vlachoudis in NIM A 568 (2006) 475–487 Inverse kinematics !!! 7Li + D-> 8Li + p - Beam: Li-7, target: D - gas 6Li + 3He -> 8B + n - Beam: Li-6, target: 3He - gas Li-8 : β- decay, antineutrino source B-8 : β+ decay, neutrino source * From Rubbia. Collection device task: To slow down , stop and extract Li-8 or B-8 produced in the gas target. Extraction of Li-8 is known, but B-8 was never extracted. Is it possible to extract B-8 ??? 4th EUROnu Annual Meeting June 12-15, 2012 APC, Paris

3 Experiment setup Scheme: beam->target->collection device->diffusion + effusion-> detection 4th EUROnu Annual Meeting June 12-15, 2012 APC, Paris

4 Planning Step 1. Test of the detection system without collection device (Li-8). Step 2. Test of the collection device with Li-8. Step 3. Extraction of B-8 4th EUROnu Annual Meeting June 12-15, 2012 APC, Paris

5 Step 1. Test of the detection system without collection device

13 Gas target = gas cell + pressure windows
Difficulties…. It is very difficult to keep a gas target close to the hot collector device (over 1500ºC) Gas target = gas cell + pressure windows Reliable Ta-foil (gas cell windows) are not available. Each foil had to be tested individually. In spite of these tests, the windows are not reliable !!! The temperature of the collection device has to be limited (up to 1500ºC). 4th EUROnu Annual Meeting June 12-15, 2012 APC, Paris

14 Li-8 extracted from the collection device
Our collection device is working ! 4th EUROnu Annual Meeting June 12-15, 2012 APC, Paris

15 Beam: Li-6, target: 3He - gas
Step3. Extraction of B-8 ? 6Li + 3He -> 8B + n Beam: Li-6, target: 3He - gas Boron… Cross-section is lower in 20 times… Is it possible to extract B-8 as an element like Li-8 was extracted ? 4th EUROnu Annual Meeting June 12-15, 2012 APC, Paris

16 Step3. Extraction of B-8 ? 4th EUROnu Annual Meeting June 12-15, 2012 APC, Paris

18 Step3. Extraction of B-8 ? 4th EUROnu Annual Meeting June 12-15, 2012 APC, Paris

19 Step3. Extraction of B-8 ? 4th EUROnu Annual Meeting June 12-15, 2012 APC, Paris

20 Conclusion for B-8 . We measured “0” extraction efficiency for B-8 but we will double check with Li-8 again to be sure there is no “bug”. If the extraction efficiency for B-8 is indeed “0” what is the difference between Li-8 and B-8 ? CHEMISTRY ?! Boron does not belong to the same column of the periodic table. There is a chemical reaction between Boron and collection device material which traps the element. 4th EUROnu Annual Meeting June 12-15, 2012 APC, Paris

21 Conclusion for B-8 . Other solution for the B-8 extraction ?
slow down B8 in AlF3 to form 8BF3 – which is a volatile molecule . But for this, we will need another experimental setup… 4th EUROnu Annual Meeting June 12-15, 2012 APC, Paris
