Description
The ISAC facility at TRIUMF with its ISOL-based radioactive beam operation with up to 50kW production targets offers some unique research capabilities to its 18 permanently installed (and 3 general purpose experimental stations) experiments. ISAC has been operational for over 15 years and its experimental program includes nuclear structure studies, electroweak-precision studies, nuclear astrophysics, and material science. It has a low-energy (60keV) medium-energy (up to 1.8 MeV/u) and high energy (up to 16 MeV/u) experimental area. In addition, TRIUMF is building a new electron-accelerator-based photo—fission ISOL facility, called ARIEL (Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory) which will provide two radioactive beams to the experimental areas. A first milestone for ARIEL has recently been reached with the acceleration of electrons to over 20 MeV. In this presentation I will give an overview and show highlights of the ISAC experimental program as well as the ARIEL project.
