Abstract:
A complex, long-range experimental program for the production of neutron-rich nuclei via multi-nucleon transfer (MNT) reactions and spontaneous fission (SF) inside the Cryogenic Stopping Cell (CSC) of the FRS Ion Catcher facility at GSI has been suggested and is under development. A key component is a new experimental set-up, consisting of a modified DC cage, a target-wheel, a beam-dump and a space charge suppression system. This setup replaces the standard electrode structure of the CSC, enabling generation of radioactive isotope beams by in-cell MNT reactions inside the CSC and the efficient and fast extraction of ions produced by MNT reactions or spontaneous fission. Furthermore, the system allows to do experiments with beams from the FRS with much higher rates and shorter half-lives. We present the specifications, design and production of this device. We also present the technical solution adopted against the space charge effect and the simulations that validate it.
