Abstract

The various methods for the production of unstable beams using in–flight and ISOL techniques with thick and thin targets are discussed, including their advantages and disadvantages. Some typical examples of facilities are shown. New concepts, future research developments and proposals for ambitious large facilities to meet the challenges for the future are described.

Keywords: Radioactive beams; particles sources and targets; particle accelerators.

Resumen

Se discuten las ventajas y desventajas de varios métodos para la producción de haces inestables con técnicas en vuelo e ISOL para blancos gruesos y delgados. Se muestran algunos ejemplos típicos de aceleradores. Se describen conceptos novedosos, desarrollos de proyectos de investigación y propuestas para aceleradores ambiciosos para enfrentar los retos del futuro.

Descriptores: Haces radioactivos; fuentes y blancos de partículas; aceleradores de partículas.

PACS: 29.25.–t; 29.27.–a
