Abstract
The RI Beam Factory (RIBF) is presently the top world-class radioactive-isotope (RI) beam facility in the world. Construction of the factory is now in the process of being completed. This facility is based on the in-flight method to produce fast RI beams. High-energy and intense primary beams accelerated by a superconducting ring cyclotron (SRC) are converted, via the projectile fragmentation or fission reaction channels, to RI beams at a new fragment separator called BigRIPS. Construction of major experimental installations is expected to commence in 2007. Physics opportunities with the RIBF are discussed herein.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
