Primary beam and AVF cyclotron

The primary beam for CRIB is provided by the AVF cyclotron of RIKEN:

http://www.nishina.riken.jp/facility/AVF.html

The ion source can produce various kinds of ions (4He--40Ca have been used at the CRIB beamline).

Typical beam energy accelerated at AVF is 3-10 MeV/u, and typical maximum beam current is 100 enA--a few e-microA. As these values depends on the ion, you should consult CNS members how much energy and beam current is actually available.

HyperECR achieved currents

Here is a list showing achieved currents for various ion beams:

The values may be obsolete, and ask local staff for latest situation.

Available energy range

The diagram shows the available energy range (horizontal axis...in MeV/u) of the AVF. By recent improvements, the available energy could be higher than this range. please consult us for the actual availability.
