At present, two cyclotrons are used to produce and accelerate radioactive ion beams (RIB). In the first step, the primary (p. n) reaction delivers the radioactive species, which is extracted from the target in gaseous form. Ionization takes place in an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) source and the positive ions are injected into and accelerated by a second cyclotron. The two-cyclotron concept has provided encouraging first results: 0.7 MeV/u N-13+ beams of 1.5 x 10(8) pps are now available on target. This intensity can be enhanced by at least one order of magnitude through various improvements.
