✦ Synopsis

A new beam line is now fully operational at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (LNL) TANDEM/ALPI accelerator for the in-flight production of light low-energy Radioactive Nuclear Beams (RNBs). The RNBs are produced by inverse kinematics reactions induced by heavy ions, such as 17 O and 6 Li, on 1 H and 3 He gas targets. The beam line has a large solid angle acceptance ðDX ¼ 10 msrÞ and a high rejection capability of spurious beams due to the combined action of magnetic rigidity and velocity filtering. A very pure (100%) and high intensity ð3:6 Â 10 6 ppsÞ 17 F 9þ secondary beam at E lab ¼ 86 AE 1 MeV has been produced and used for experiments. A 8 B 5þ beam at E lab ¼ 33 MeV, with a production rate of $ 2 Â 10 3 pps, is presently under commissioning.
