Scientific Opportunities with

This document highlights the scientific opportunities at the future Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) with fast beams produced by in-flight separation of isotopes from projectile fragmentation or fission. It is intended to augment the 1997 report Scientific Opportunities with an Advanced ISOL Facility that made the scientific case for an advanced ISOL (isotope separation on-line) facility. For medium-mass to heavy nuclei, fast beams will extend the study of very short-lived, neutron-rich nuclei into a region more than 10 neutrons further from the valley of stability than is presently possible and about 3 -- 4 neutrons further than possible with re-accelerated (ISOL) beams. A compelling scientific case exists for the incorporation of an advanced fast fragmentation beam capability into the base plan of RI

Now that the use of garbage collection in languages like Java is becoming widely accepted due to the safety and software engineering benefits it provides, there is significant interest in applying garbage collection to hard real-time systems. Past approaches have generally suffered from one of two major flaws: either they were not provably real-time, or they imposed large space overheads to meet the real-time bounds
