The radioisotope (RI) beam facility is under construction at RIKEN. In the first phase, a new multi-stage acceleration system consisting of three ting cyclotrons with K=510 MeV, 980 MeV and 2500 MeV in each will be commissioned in 2005. It will boost the heavy-ion beams' energies obtained by the existing K540-MeV ring cyclotron up to 350 MeV/nucleon. Intense RI beams are produced mostly via the projectile fragmentation of these energetic heavy ions or partially via in-flight fission of uranium ions. In the second phase, various experimental installations for direct use of these RI beams, an accumulator cooler ring and an electron-Ri beam collider, etc. will be built step by step.
