Dr Richard Casten (Richard)04/06/2019, 15:15Symposia Day - Nuclear Astrophysics and Medical Isotopes (in honour of Prof. John D'Auria)Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)
John D'Auria had a distinguished career in nuclear structure and astrophysics, including pioneering work on the production and exploitation of beams of exotic unstable nuclei to expand the horizons of this field into new realms. His work and influence played a major role in promulgating the excitement of research on unstable nuclei and in propelling today's proliferation of major facilities...

The continuous 480 MeV proton beam from the TRIUMF H$^{-}$ cyclotron offers a unique potential for the production of rare isotopes via spallation, fragmentation and fission reactions. It was first investigated with the TISOL (Test Isotope Separator On-Line) facility, a project of John d’Auria$^{1}$. This ground-breaking work cleared the path for the present ISAC (Isotope Separation and...

TRIUMF's neutral atom trap (TRINAT) was started as a good match for surface-ionized alkali elements produced at TISOL (TEST/TRIUMF Isotope Separator On-line).

TRINAT had two main goals-- beta-neutrino correlations, and the chemistry of francium championed by John D'Auria.
Relativity makes francium's properties harder to extrapolate from the lighter alkali elements; e.g., the ionization... -

DRAGON is Canada's Recoil Separator facility for Nuclear Astrophysics - a unique device in the world. Leveraging on previous decades of work with recoil separators at stable beam facilities, and new advances in radioactive ion beam technology, the positioning of DRAGON at TRIUMF-ISAC was a cutting-edge step to allow measurements of a ubiquitous type of nuclear reaction in stars: radiative...
