Overview of the KoRIA Facility for Rare Isotope Beams

Abstract

The Korea Rare Isotope Accelerator, currently referred to as KoRIA, is briefly presented. The KoRIA facility is aimed to enable cutting-edge sciences in a wide range of fields. It consists of a 70?kW isotope separator on-line (ISOL) facility driven by a 70?MeV, 1?mA proton cyclotron and a 400?kW in-flight fragmentation (IFF) facility. The ISOL facility uses a superconducting (SC) linac for post-acceleration of rare isotopes up to about 18?MeV/u, while the SC linac of IFF facility is capable of accelerating uranium beams up to 200?MeV/u, 8 pμA and proton beams up to 600?MeV, 660?μA. Overall features of the KoRIA facility are presented with a focus on the accelerator design.
