MO2I2	Radioactive Ion Beams at TRIUMF, ISAC and ARIEL: Status and Perspectives
	F. Ames TRIUMF, Vancouver, Canada
	TRIUMF’s ISAC facility delivered for more than two decades radioactive ion beams to experiments. The isotopes are produced by bombarding solid targets with a beam of 500 MeV protons. Singly charged ions up to 60 keV are extracted, mass selected and distributed to experiments. For experiments requiring higher energy, they are accelerated up to 15 MeV/u by a heavy ion linac consisting of an RFQ, a room temperature drift tube structure and a superconducting linac. Ions with a mass > 30amu are charge state bred with an ECR ion source. A new facility under construction (ARIEL) aims to dripple the amount of beam time available to users. It combines two target stations, a high-resolution mass separator and an EBIS charge breeder. One target station will produce the isotopes from up to 100 kW electrons at 30 MeV and photo fission, while the other one with an additional proton beam from the TRIUMF cyclotron. Results from the existing ISAC facility will be presented. Plans for improvements to ISAC operation and the status of the ARIEL set up will be discussed together with an operational model to run simultaneously all three target stations.

TRIUMF’s ISAC facility delivered for more than two decades radioactive ion beams to experiments. The isotopes are produced by bombarding solid targets with a beam of 500 MeV protons. Singly charged ions up to 60 keV are extracted, mass selected and distributed to experiments. For experiments requiring higher energy, they are accelerated up to 15 MeV/u by a heavy ion linac consisting of an RFQ, a room temperature drift tube structure and a superconducting linac. Ions with a mass > 30amu are charge state bred with an ECR ion source. A new facility under construction (ARIEL) aims to dripple the amount of beam time available to users. It combines two target stations, a high-resolution mass separator and an EBIS charge breeder. One target station will produce the isotopes from up to 100 kW electrons at 30 MeV and photo fission, while the other one with an additional proton beam from the TRIUMF cyclotron. Results from the existing ISAC facility will be presented.
