• The RIBO project

    RIBO stands for the Radioactive Ion Beam Optimizer(1). It is a Monte Carlo simulation program that tracks the paths of point-like objects (namely atoms or photons) moving within solid (and even moving) boundaries. The driving force for the project has been the creation of a tool that can predict the release of radioactive nuclei from ISOL targets so that the systems can be optimized and the ambitious goals of EURISOL can be fulfilled. Thus, RIBO integrates the main phenomena involved in isotope extraction and ion beam formation: Diffusion, Effusion, Ionization, Ion Transport (more)

    RIBO allows to define specific collision laws, it accepts particle to particle interactions and it deals with unlimited, modular and truly 3D geometries. The user can choose among several source routines or make a customized one, and particles can be tracked in capricious schemes, including reflections to the source, multiple passages through a detector,...
