Production of zinc beams at ALTO-LEB
In February 2025, during week 7, 3 months after the ALTO research platform was flooded, radioactive beams at 30 keV were once again produced in the ALTO-LEB area. Zinc and…
Laser-produced silver beams at ALTO
In November 2023, the RIALTO experimental setup has enabled the production of silver (Ag) and gallium (Ga) radioactive ion beams measured at the TETRA device during the N-RI-22 experiment. RIALTO…
First radioactive silver beam produced at ALTO LEB
A radioactive silver beam was produced by RIALTO in November for the N-RI-22 experiment on TETRA. The figure shows the spectrum of a silver beam of mass 123 sent to…
First radioactive beam for the novel COeCO decay station
A beam of gallium 80 was sent to COeCO at the beginning of the beamtime. About 8 times more gallium was measured when comparing laser ionized beam and surface ionized…
Stable and radioactive beams in parallel!
During weeks 41 and 42, the Tandem and the LINAC will operate in parallel. The nu-Ball 2 experiment takes advantage of the lithium 7 beam produced by the Tandem and…
TETRA is back !
After an experiment dedicated to Dark Matter detection, TETRA comes back to ALTO to study neutron rich nuclei to better understand the nucleosynthesis process.
