The ISAC program at TRIUMF focuses on nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, tests of fundamental symmetries using isotopes, and material science. I will give an overview of the present on-line ISAC system and developments, report on recent science highlights, and present plans and status of the new ARIEL facility. ARIEL is currently being built, and will ultimately provide multi-beam...

Accelerator Laboratory in the Department of Physics, University of Jyväskylä has three disciplines, basic research in nuclear physics, accelerator-based material science and accelerator based commercial services. Those areas are using primary ion beams from three accelerators; K130 heavy ion cyclotron, MCC30 light ion cyclotron and Pelletron accelerator, all of them equipped by in-house...

One of the goals of precision measurements in nuclear beta decay is the search for deviations from the Standard Model that would point to new physics. Within the Standard Model, beta decay is described by the V-A theory but exotic contributions are experimentally not excluded with high precision. The primary aim of the WITCH experiment [1] at the ISOLDE/CERN facility is the precise...

Production of 7Li is linked to the production of 7Be, which in turn, is related to the reaction 3He + 4He --> 7Be + γ. Measuring this reaction rate is of utmost importance to shed light on 7Li abundance anomaly. A new approach to measuring the reaction rate could be measuring the reverse reaction of Coulomb dissociation of 7Be, preferably in the presence of a heavy target. A related...
