The first on-line tests of the ion sources to provide radioactive ion beams of
69,70As and
17,18F for the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility have been performed using the UNISOR facility at HRIBF. For
70As the measured efficiency is 0.8 ± 0.3% with a hold-up time of 3.6 ± 0.3 h as measured with
72As at a target temperature of 1270°C. For
17F the efficiency for Al
17F is 0.0024 ± 0.0008% with a hold-up time of 16.4 ± 0.8 m as measured with Al
18F at a target temperature of 1470°C.
