Abstract

The Radio Frequency Fragment Separator (RFFS) proposed in [1] is now operational at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). The RFFS is an additional purification system for secondary beams at the NSCL after the existing A1900 fragment separator and will primarily be used to purify beams of rare neutron deficient isotopes. A similar device is already in use at RIKEN [2]. The RFFS uses an rf kicker to angularly separate unwanted particles from the desired ion beam, a π/2 phase advance cell to rotate the beam in phase space before the beam reaches a collimating aperture for purification, and a final π phase advance cell to transport the desired beam to the experiment. The final design for the rf kicker and the focusing system is presented and a status report on the building and commissioning effort is given.
