ABSTRACT

The Cryosystem of the Munich Accelerator for Fission Fragments (MAFF)

MAFF (Munich accelerator for fission fragments) is a project at the new Munich reactor FRM-II to produce intense radioactive ion beams from ^235U fission fragments. A significant fraction of the fission fragments consists of short-lived gaseous fission products from noble gases like Krypton or Xenon or from Bromium and Iodine. In order to localize this gaseous radioactivity close to the fission source cryopanels in the beamline to each side of the fission source are foreseen that will retain the volatile activity until transformation into non-volatile species via $\beta$ decay. The cryosystem of the MAFF project designed for the environment of a nuclear research reactor will be presented.
