Prospects of nuclear physics research using rare isotope beams at RAON in Korea

Korea plans to build a new radioactive ion-beam accelerator RAON together with various experimental facilities. In particular, KOBRA(the Korea Broad Acceptance Recoil Spectrometer Apparatus) and LAMPS(the Large-Acceptance Multi-Purpose Spectrometer) will be constructed for the nuclear physics experiments.The primary goal of KOBRA is to study the structure of exotic nuclei near drip lines and various astrophysical processes at low energies. On the other hand, LAMPS will investigate the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy in wide beam energy range up to 2 times normal nuclear densities. This paper provides an overview of RAON and the experimental setup for the nuclear physics program.     

The six-meter synchrocyclotron of the Institute of Nuclear problems,Academy of Sciences USSR

The chief characteristics of the six-meter synchrocyclotron of the Institute of Nuclear Problems of the Academy of Sciences, USSR, which provides proton acceleration to an energy of 680 Mev, are described.Reported at the All-Union Conference on the Physics of High-Energy Particles, May 14, 1956.Deceased.     

Some theoretical questions concerning the 10-Bev proton synchrotron of the Academy of Sciences USSR

A method is developed for calculating those basic phenomena in a weak-focusing proton synchrotron which depend on the choice of the parameters of the accelerator. Free oscillations, variations of the orbit, resonances of free and phase oscillations, and injection theory, are considered. The theory is applied to the 10-Bev proton synchrotron of the Academy of Sciences, USSR.At present the proton synchrotron belongs to the Joint Institute for Nuclear Study (Ed.).In conclusion, I consider it my pleasant duty to epress my gratitude to V. I. Veksler, A.A. Kolomenskii and V. A. Petukhov for discussssion of the problems considered.
