Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Physics
  • Accelerator Science
  • Superheavy Element Synthesis

Background:

  • The RIKEN Nishina Center (RNC) initiated an accelerator upgrade project for the RIKEN heavy-ion linear accelerator (RILAC).
  • The project aimed to enhance final energy and intensity for synthesizing superheavy element 119.
  • Existing facilities were utilized for exploratory measurements during the upgrade construction period.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the accelerator upgrade project at RIKEN Nishina Center.
  • To describe the construction of a superconducting RIKEN linear accelerator (SRILAC) and a superconducting electron-cyclotron-resonance ion source (SC-ECRIS).
  • To report on the commissioning results of the upgraded facility, including the gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS-III).

Main Methods:

  • Construction of SRILAC and SC-ECRIS to increase beam energy and intensity.
  • Development of GARIS-III for detecting hot fusion reaction residues.
  • Relocation of GARIS-II to facilitate continuous research and gain experience in hot fusion processes.

Main Results:

  • Successful construction of SRILAC and SC-ECRIS.
  • Commissioning experiments with the upgraded SRILAC and GARIS-III were performed.
  • Exploratory measurements using RILAC2 and RIKEN ring cyclotron (RRC) provided valuable data.

Conclusions:

  • The accelerator upgrade project at RNC has been successfully executed.
  • The upgraded facility is ready for experiments targeting superheavy element synthesis.
  • Commissioning results validate the performance of the new superconducting accelerator and ion source.
