A new low-energy radioactive beam line for nuclear astrophysics studies in China

A gas-target system has been newly developed and installed at a Radioactive Ion Beam Line in Lanzhou (RIBLL), which makes RIBLL capable of delivering intense, low-energy RIBs for nuclear astrophysics studies. A 1.7×104-pps intensity 22Na RI beam has been achieved in a commissioning run. With further improvements, a 105-pps intensity of some RI beams with mass A<30A<30 (close to the line of β-stabilityβ-stability) can be expected in the near future. Some detection equipment including Germanium and Silicon arrays (or balls) available (or to be constructed) at IMP are briefly introduced. A new low-energy radioactive beam line in China is now ready for nuclear astrophysics studies.
