    Research Summary
    Purpose
    • To establish an international cooperation platform in the field of rare isotope research and generate advanced nuclear physics outcomes using the RAON heavy-ion accelerator.
    Research Content
    • Complete the integration of the ISOL + In-Flight (IF) method at an early stage and conduct both short- and long-term experiments and collaborative research.
    • Form specialized working groups by research area to establish RAON as a global hub for extreme rare isotope science through substantial international cooperation.
    • Discover and develop new research topics related to the application of extreme rare isotopes.
    Consortium Features
    Domestic Institutions
    • Possess extensive global research networks in nuclear physics through ongoing joint projects with institutions in Japan, the U.S., France, and others.
    • Korea Nuclear Data Center (KNDC) is one of 13 nuclear data centers under the Nuclear Reaction Data Centre (NRDC) network and is equipped with world-class capabilities in nuclear/atomic data measurement, evaluation, and validation.
    International Institution (RIKEN, Japan)
    • Recognized as the world’s first institution dedicated to rare isotope research. First in the world to operate the ISOL + In-Flight (IF) integrated heavy-ion accelerator system, RAON.
    • Owns and operates the KEK Isotope Separation System (KISS), a cutting-edge facility for the separation and study of rare isotopes.
    Outcomes, Applications & Expected Impact
    Utilization of Research Outcomes
    • Leverage RAON to discover previously unobserved isotopes and offer next-generation beam production methods to nuclear physicists worldwide.
    • Promote additional international joint research opportunities by sharing successful outcomes and fostering continuous collaborative topic development through ongoing exchanges in nuclear science.
    Promoting modern physics and national R&D via joint projects.
    • Contribute to fundamental science through the discovery of new rare isotopes while enhancing Korea’s national science and technology capabilities.
    • Lay the groundwork for future industry innovation based on nuclear physics applications, strengthening the country’s scientific competitiveness.
