89-917 - Results of the NASA Space Radiation
Laboratory Beam Studies Program at BNL

The NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) was
constructed in collaboration with NASA for the
purpose of performing radiation effect studies for the
NASA space program. The NSRL makes use of heavy
ions in the range of 0.05 to 3 GeV/n slow extracted
from BNL's AGS Booster. The purpose of the NSRL
beam studies program is to develop a clear
understanding of the beams delivered to the facility, to
fully characterize those beams, and to develop new
capabilities in the interest of understanding the
radiation environment in space. In this report we will
describe the first results from this program.

90-977 - Generation of a Femtosecond Electron
Beam for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
Jinfeng Yang (RCNP, Osaka), Yang Jinfeng (ISIR, )
A new S-band femtosecond electron linear accelerator
was developed in Osaka University for the study of
radiation-induced ultrafast physical and chemical
reactions in femtosecond time regions. The
femtosecond electron accelerator was constructed with
a laser driven photocathode RF gun, a linear
accelerator (linac) and a magnetic pulse compressor.
The RF gun was driven by a mode-locked Nd:YLF
picosecond laser. The electron beam produced by the
RF gun was accelerated in the linac with energy
modulattion by adjusted the RF phase. The magnetic
pulse compression, which was constructed with two
45o-bending magnets and four quadrupole magnets, is
a technique to longitudinally focus a charged beam by
rotating the phase space distribution in a magnetic
field. The picosecond electron pulse, which was
generated in the RF gun and accelerated in the linac
with energy modulation, was compressed into
femtosecond by adjusted the quadrupole magnetic
fields. The femtosecond electron pulse is expected for the
studies of ultrafast reactions in nano-space.

91-1053 - Review of ISOL-type Radioactive Beam
Facilities
Mats Lindroos (CERN, Geneva)
The ISOL technique was invented in Copenhagen over 50
years ago and eventually migrated to CERN where a
suitable proton drive beam was available at the Syncho-
Cyclotron. The quick spread of the technique from CERN to
many other laboratories has resulted in a large user
community, which has assured the continued development
of the method, physics in the front-line of fundamental
research and the application of the method to many applied
sciences. The technique is today established as one of the
main techniques for on-line isotope production of high
intensity and high quality beams. The thick targets used
allows the production of unmatched high intensity
radioactive beams. The fact that the ions are produced at rest
makes it ideally suitable for low energy experiments and for
post acceleration using well established accelerator
techniques. The many different versions of the technique
will be discussed and the many facilities spread all over the
world will be reviewed. The major developments at the
existing facilities and the challenges encountered will be
presented. Finally, the possibility of using the resulting high
intensity beams for the production of intense neutrino beams
will be briefly discussed.

92-1058 - Design of a Muon Source for the Muon
Ionisation Cooling Experiment
Kevin Tilley (CCLRC/RAL/ISIS, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon)
The MICE collaboration proposes to install a Muon
Ionisation Cooling Experiment at the ISIS facility, at
Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. This experiment will be
the first demonstration of ionisation cooling as a means to
reduce the large transverse emittance of the muon beam,
produced during the early stages of a neutrino factory. In
order to permit a realistic demonstration of cooling, a source
of muons must be produced, possessing particular qualities,
notably in emittance and momenta. This paper describes the
present design for the muon beamline source, and the plans
for its implementation at RAL.
