Main magnetic focus ion source: Device with high electron current density

We discuss recent experiments performed with an upgraded version of the main magnetic focus ion source (MaMFIS) at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna. The device operates in the range of electron beam energies extended up to $40$ keV. The achieved electron current densities are of the order of $10$ kA/cm$^{2}$. This assessment is consistent both with the very short ionization time and with the utmost ionization degree of the produced highly charged ions. Due to its high efficiency, the MaMFIS technology is especially promising for ionization of short-lived radionuclides and heavy elements. A new scheme for charge breeding is proposed.

Study of secondary neutron interactions with $^{232}$Th, $^{129}$I, and $^{127}$I nuclei with the uranium assembly "QUINTA" at 2, 4, and 8 GeV deuteron beams of the JINR Nuclotron accelerator

The natural uranium assembly, "QUINTA", was irradiated with 2, 4, and 8 GeV deuterons. The $^{232}$Th, $^{127}$I, and $^{129}$I samples have been exposed to secondary neutrons produced in the assembly at a 20-cm radial distance from the deuteron beam axis. The spectra of gamma rays emitted by the activated $^{232}$Th, $^{127}$I, and $^{129}$I samples have been analyzed and several tens of product nuclei have been identified. For each of those products, neutron-induced reaction rates have been determined. The transmutation power for the $^{129}$I samples is estimated. Experimental results were compared to those calculated with well-known stochastic and deterministic codes.
