Simultaneous Measurement ofβ−Decay to Bound and Continuum Electron States
We report the first measurement of a ratio {lambda}{sub {beta}{sub b}}/{lambda}{sub {beta}{sub c}} of bound-state ({lambda}{sub {beta}{sub b}}) and continuum-state ({lambda}{sub {beta}{sub c}}) {beta}{sup -}-decay rates for the case of bare {sup 207}Tl{sup 81+} ions. These ions were produced at the GSI fragment separator FRS by projectile fragmentation of a {sup 208}Pb beam. After in-flight separation with the B{rho}-{delta}E-B{rho} method, they were injected into the experimental storage-ring ESR at an energy of 400.5A MeV, stored, and electron cooled. The number of both the {sup 207}Tl{sup 81+} ions and their bound-state {beta}{sup -}-decay daughters, hydrogenlike {sup 207}Pb{sup 81+} ion…
Calculations of high-power production target and beamdump for the GSI future Super-FRS for a fast extraction scheme at the FAIR Facility
A superconducting fragment separator (Super-FRS) is being designed for the production and separation of radioactive isotopes at the future FAIR (Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research) facility at Darmstadt. This paper discusses various aspects and requirements for the high-power production target that will be used in the Super-FRS experiments. The production target must survive over an extended period of time as it will be used during the course of many experiments. The specific power deposited by the high intensity beam that will be generated at the future FAIR facility will be high enough to destroy the target in most of the cases as a result of a single shot from the new heavy ion sy…
