Beijing Radioactive Ion-beam Facilities (BRIF)


     Beijing Radioactive Ion-beam Facilities (BRIF) is based on the existing tandem accelerator. A new 100MeV, 200µA cyclotron and an isotope separator on line will be constructed on the upstream and a new superconducting linear booster will be built downstream to form an accelerator setup. Each accelerator can be used alone or jointly. The cyclotron will be used for neutron physics, radiation physics, biology medicine studies and isotope R&D and so on. The proton beam from the cyclotron can also be used to bombard target-source to produce radiation beams which can be injected into the tandem accelerator to get more energy for experiments.
      At present, the engineering design has been fully carried out and some large key equipment with long manufacture period is under construction.
