Description
SCRIT facility [1] is a unique facility specifically designed for electron scattering measurement of short-lived nuclei. In 2023, we published the world’s first result [2] of the electron scattering measurement of short-lived nuclei 137Cs.
In this presentation, we will show the current status of the SCRIT facility, and the future plan for upgrade in order to further measurement of much shorter-lived nuclei. The key development is the upgrade of the electron beam power to activate the photofission of Uranium to create the short-lived nuclei. Current electron-beam power is up to 20 W, but we are now installing a larger power supply for Klystron to accelerate high current electron beam.
In this poster, we will introduce the SCRIT facility and upgrade plan in more detail.
