As the only ISOL facility worldwide, ISAC-TRIUMF is routinely operating targets under particle irradiation in the high-power regime in excess of 10 kW. TRIUMF’s current flagship project ARIEL, Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory, will add three new target stations providing isotopes to the existing experimental stations in ISAC, to a dedicated collection station as well as for chemical...
An overview of the current science program for the ISAC facility at TRIUMF is given, and the status
and plans for the upcoming ARIEL facility will be presented.
Beta decay is formidable laboratory for the study of weak interaction. These decays give today the most precise value of the Vud quark-mixing matrix and competitive limits on physics beyond the standard model like scalar or tensor currents. In my talk, I will cover the present status of 0+-0+ and mirror beta decays to determine the Vud matrix element and describe present and future activities...
The charge radius of a nucleus is one of its defining parameters and of inherent importance for the understanding and the calculation of its interactions. For elements heavier than Z=83, where no stable isotopes exist, only few nuclear charge radii have been measured. These measurements are of paramount importance to complement the measurements of relative difference in mean-square radii along...
