Abstract
- The production of transuranium isotopes has been demonstrated at the Isotope Separation and ACceleration (ISAC) facility. In particular a laser-ionized $^{239}$Pu beam, extracted from a uranium carbide target, was investigated. The experimental work was complemented by GEANT4 simulations, modelling the impact of secondary particles on the creation of transuranium isotopes through inelastic nuclear reactions. Theoretical production cross sections were derived and compared to experimental results, leading to a discussion on boundary conditions for the release of neptunium and plutonium from ISAC uranium carbide targets.
