APPENDIX
UNISOR (University Isotope Separator at Oak Ridge) is a consortium of 14 institutions which
operates an isotope separator in the "on line" mode to the Oak Ridge Isochronous Cyclotron.
The ion source of the isotope separator (mass spectrometer) is the target of the cyclotron beam.
In this way short-lived radioisotopes are produced and separated continuously for study.
UNISOR is at present the only on-line separator in the world with heavy-ion beam, principally
14N, 16O and 40Ar with energies up to 180 MeV.
The consortium members are: Furman University, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of
Kentucky, Louisiana State University, University of South Carolina, University of Tennessee,
Tennessee Technological University, Vanderbilt University, VirginiaPolytechnical Institute and
State University, Oak Ridge Associated Universities and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Former members: Universityof Alabama at Birmingham, Emory Universityand University of Massachusetts.
The operation is supported by these institutions and by the U.S. Department of Energy. Its
operation and capital budgets total approximately $500,000 per year not including cyclotron
beam time. UNISOR research at present constitutes from a significant part to essentially all of
the research activities of a total of approximately 45 faculty members and graduate students
from UNISOR members institutions.
