Description
The ISAC facility at TRIUMF is providing over 200 different radioactive
beams to users at energies
up to 5 MeV/u. Plans exist to extend the facility by an additional
200muA proton beam line and
a photo-fission facility based on a mega-watt class superconducting
electron linac.
One of the experimental facilities at ISAC is TITAN, a high precision
Penning trap mass spectrometer.
First experiments with radioactive beams were carried out this year with
the aim to determine the masses of
halo nuclei. In a first run, the mass of Li-8 and Li-9 were investigated
with a precision of about 2*10-8.
The goal of an upcoming experiment (Dec 2007) is the mass measurement of
Li-11.
The talk will give an overview of ISAC and present the future plans. It
will introduce the TITAN facility
and show first experimental results.
