[en] Approaches to estimate yields of nuclei far from stability from targets bombarded by high-energy protons are evaluated against available data. The production processes considered include spallation, fragmentation, and fission (the latter with a uranium target). Approaches and mass regions with good predictive properties are highlighted, as well as those exhibiting poor predictive power

[en] This book presents the papers given at a conference on electromagnetic isotope separation. Topics considered at the conference included general separator technology, stable isotope enrichment techniques, the ORNL separation status, charged-particle optics, on-line separator systems and target techniques, ion beams, ion sources, helium jets, mass spectroscopy, laser spectroscopy, nuclear orientation, and superconducting magnets

[en] Following a brief description of the TRISTAN facility, the techniques developed for on-line nuclear spectroscopy of short-lived fission products, the studies possible, and the activities studied are presented. All journal publications relating to the development of the facility and the studies carried out using it are referenced, and co-workers identified

[en] Studies of the low-velocity stages of a radioactive beams accelerator are summarized, highlighting the limitations of existing RFQ technology when applied to the specifications of the IsoSpin Laboratory

[en] We present results of a study of the feasibility of using a He-jet coupled on-line mass separator system at LAMPF. He-jet transport-line characteristics, and estimates for the production of nuclei far from stability are given. Some specific areas of interest for potential studies are also presented. 18 refs

[en] Feasibility studies have shown that a He-jet activity transport line, with a target chamber placed in the LAMPF main beam line, will provide access to short-lived isotopes of a number of elements that cannot be extracted efficiently for study at any other type of on-line facility. The He-jet technique requires targets thin enough to allow a large fraction of the reaction products to recoil out of the target foils; hence, a very intense incident beam current, such as that uniquely available at LAMPF, is needed to produce yields of individual radioisotopes sufficient for detailed nuclear studies. We present the results of feasibility experiments on He-jet transport efficiency and timing. We also present estimates on availability of nuclei far from stability from both fission and spallation processes. Areas of interest for study of nuclear properties far from stability will be outlined. 17 refs

[en] The current status and future promise of ISOL systems are discussed, with emphasis on newly conceived experimental capabilities and interests. In addition to studies of nuclear structure using traditional or new on-line approaches, such as on-line nuclear orientation, the possibilities for studies with accelerated radioactive beams that have direct application to basic problems in materials science and astrophysics as well as to nuclear theory are pointed out. 43 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab

[en] Nuclear data needs in astrophysics range from neutron capture cross sections of a number of stable or near-stable nuclei to decay and neutron binding-energy data for highly neutron-rich nuclei. LAMPF has the potential to contribute significantly to these needs. The new Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center (LANSCE, aka WNR/PSR) offers world-class capabilities for neutron capture studies up to an MeV or so. The study of nuclei far from stability could be extended into some regions of astrophysical interest using a proposed He-jet coupled mass separator system with a target/production chamber in the LAMPF beam stop area. Specific examples of possible studies at each facility are presented

[en] Accelerator technology development is presented for heavy ion drivers used in inertial confinement fusion. The program includes construction of low-velocity ''test bed'' accelerator facilities, development of analytical and experimental techniques to characterize ion beam behavior, and the study of ion beam energy deposition
