Description
RAON is a heavy-ion accelerator facility designed to produce and utilize Rare Isotope Beams (RIBs) for advanced nuclear science research in Korea. RAON is unique in combining both In-Flight (IF) Fragmentation and Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) methods to offer a broad range of RIBs for diverse experimental needs. The accelerator complex consists of a superconducting heavy-ion linear accelerator for the IF system and a 70 MeV proton cyclotron as the driver for the ISOL system. Following over a decade of development and construction, successful beam commissioning of the low-energy Linac and initial RIB production using the ISOL system have been carried out.
This talk will present the current operational status of RAON, highlighting recent results from beam commissioning and rare isotope production, along with a brief overview of future plans.
