Abstract
Recently, the TRIUMF Storage Ring (TRISR), a storage ring for the existing Isotope Separator and Accelerator-I (ISAC-I) radioactive ion beam facility at TRIUMF, was proposed. It may be possible to directly measure neutron-induced radiative capture reactions in inverse kinematics by combining the ring with a high-flux neutron generator as the neutron target. Herein, we present the conceptual design of a low-energy ion storage ring as well as a fusion product extraction system with a Wien filter and recoil separator for detecting neutron capture products based on ion optical calculations and particle-tracking simulations.
