The presented paper discusses the production of radioactive ion beams of francium, radium, and actinium from thick uranium carbide (UC <mml:math xmlns:mml="https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:msub><mml:mrow/> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi></mml:msub> </mml:math> ) targets at ISOLDE, CERN. This study focuses on the release curves and extractable yields of francium, radium and actinium isotopes. The ion source temperature was varied in order to study the relative contributions of surface and laser ionization to the production of the actinium ion beams...
