The production of Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) at
intermediate energy by the In-Flight method (Projectile
Fragmentation) and their transport along the beam lines were
successfully achieved at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud-Catania.
In particular the yield of the fragmentation products of
12C,
20Ne,
40Ar,
58Ni projectiles at incident energies in
the range 40 to 62 AMeV was studied. RIBs rates up to 10
5
ions/sec were estimated for a primary beam current of 500 enA. The
ΔE-ToF identification method was applied to “tag"
event-by-event the RIBs selected by the LNS Fragment Separator among
the fragmentation products of the primary projectile. The
feasibility of different contemporaneous measurements with “tagged"
RIBs, was proved by the results of two explorative experiments.
