Graduate student support for accelerator physics projects on ARIEL

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Capital funding for a superconducting electron linear accelerator at TRIUMF, known as the e-linac, was approved through the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) in June 2010, as the first phase of the advanced rare isotope laboratory (ARIEL). The accelerator was successfully commissioned in September 2014. CFI has approved funding for the second phase (ARIEL-II) and provincial approval for matching funding is nearly finalized. ARIEL II includes infrastructure for two new target stations and ion beam delivery systems for isotopes produced by electron-induced photo-fission as well as by proton-induced fission, spallation and fragmentation reactions. These radioisotopes are then delivered to experiments for nuclear, nuclear astrophysics, and material science research, as well as for medical applications.
