Some features of experimental setup design for isotopes separation by the laser assisted retardation of condensation method

In this paper, we propose optimal design of experimental setup for isotope separation by laser assisted retardation of condensation method. Optimal parameters for this setup can be found from the optimization criterion based on the transport model for rarefied gas flow dynamics in external laser field specifically tuned for selective excitation of target isotope [J. W. Eerkens, Laser Part. Beams 23, 225–253 (2005)]. Constrains applied by condensation dynamics were also considered. Because product cut and enrichment factor corresponding to the optimal conditions are rather small, isotopes in this setup should be recovered iteratively. Proposed method to calculate optimal parameters of experimental setup can be applied for arbitrary chemical element isotopes separation, where target isotopomer chemical structure should provide its highest efficiency. Optimal design of experimental setup operation is demonstrated on the example of sulfur isotopes separation.
