ABSTRACT
The KEK isotope separation system (KISS) is an element-selective isotope separator under development at RIKEN. The in-gas-cell laser ion source is a critical component of the KISS, a gas cell filled with argon gas of 50 kPa enclosed in a vacuum chamber. In the gas cell, nuclear reaction products are stopped (i.e., thermalized and neutralized) and transported by a laminar flow of argon to the ionization region just upstream of the gas outlet, and thereby an element of interest among those reaction products is selectively ionized by two-color resonant laser irradiation. Recently, we succeeded to extract laser-ionized Fe ions by injecting an energetic Fe beam into the gas cell. Recent off- and on-line test results were presented and discussed.
