Some studies of molecular ions obtained from a U + C target at > 2100°C

The OSIRIS ISOL-facility at Studsvik is used for studies of short lived products from reactor neutron induced fission. Several species of molecular ions are produced in the target, forming sidebands to the fission mass distribution. Other species are obtained when reactive gases are introduced into the target chamber. Observations of the temperature stability of molecular ions and their formation probabilities under different conditions are reported.
