PANTECHNIK delivers the Target-Ion-Source (Ensemble-Cible-Source ECS) for SPIRAL/GANIL. These ensembles are used for the production of radioactive in beams via the ISOL method at GANIL. The ECS, constituted by a thick carbon target - which can be heated up to about 1800° C - and a NANOGAN3 ion source is assembled at PANTECHNIK and tested in the GANIL test bench by PANTECHNIK personnel. After validation, these ensembles are moved to the production cave, where they are irradiated for producing radioactive beams for experiments at GANIL. The first ECS delivered by PANTECHNIK has the number 34 - see photo taken during its validation in the GANIL test bench. The lifetime of one ECS can vary between 15 days to more than a month, depending on irradiation conditions. For more information on SPIRAL, follow this link . |
