Abstract

The study of the so called exotic nuclei constitutes an important field of research in nuclear physics. The possibility of producing secondary beams of unstable nuclei(RIB) allows the investigation of nuclei at extreme conditions as low binding energies, high angular momentum and isospin. More laboratories are going through the process of re-direction of their experimental effort towards this activity. The nuclear physics community in Brazil has enthusiastically decided to join this endeavor to provide the Pelletron/LINAC complex with two superconducting solenoids which will permit the production of secondary beams of radioactive nuclei. A description of this facility and project RIBRAS follows. (AU)
