Comparison Of Expected Yields For Light Radioactive Beams At SPIRAL-1 And 2.

Light-particles stable high-intensity beams (p, d, ^3,4He...) will be available from the Linac driver accelerator of SPIRAL-2. Yields of neutron-deficient isotopes as well as of neutron-rich isotopes (by means of reactions with secondary neutrons) are compared with those presently available at the SPIRAL-1 facility. We explore, for light beams (Z<16) asked in the ‘white book’ of SPIRAL-2, the production methods taking into account the in-target yield but also the feasibility of making such beams by the ISOL method (considering reaction, target, thermal and release properties). We discuss some of the tests needed and planned. A comparis on with the present and potentially attainable yields at SPIRAL-1 is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
