Antonio C.C. Villari - GANILMoriond-2003 Radioactive beam research notches up 50 years Otto Kofoed-Hansen and Karl Ove Nielsen were the authors of NBI's first experiment (using ISOL technique). Their basic intent was to measure the recoil momentum resulting from the emission of a neutrino in beta decay. The best way to do this is with noble gas atoms, so Kofoed-Hansen and Nielsen set out to collect neutron-rich krypton isotopes produced in the fission of uranium.

Antonio C.C. Villari - GANILMoriond-2003 Very high efficiencies of light ions (particularly noble gases) can be achieved in ISOL. The requested yields of 6 He and 18 Ne requested for ß-beams “seem feasible” using standard solutions with projectile fragmentation. Solutions using very low beam energies (with high beam currents) look promising and should be better investigated.
