Abstract:
New medium-high energy ion
accelerators have been built or are
under construction around the world in
order to address nuclear physics
scientific challenges. As part of this
global trend, Soreq Nuclear Research
Center (SNRC) is constructing the
Soreq Applied Research Accelerator
Facility (SARAF), a user facility that
will be based on a state-of-the-art light
ion (protons and deuterons), medium
energy (40 MeV) high CW current
(5mA) accelerator, to be completed by
the beginning of the next decade.
These cutting-edge specifications, with
the proper target area instrumentation,
will make SARAF one of the world's
most potent deuteron, proton and fast
neutron sources. In this talk the
research program at SARAF, the
foreseen complete facility (SARAF
Phase II), and the existing and
operational facility (SARAF Phase I),
including its recent scientific
achievements, will be described.
