Graduate student support for accelerator physics projects on ARIEL

2010年6月，加拿大创新基金会（CFI）批准了TRIUMF超导电子直线加速器的资本资金，作为高级稀有同位素实验室（ARIEL）的第一阶段。该加速器于2014年9月成功投入使用。原住民基金会已经批准了第二阶段（ARIEL-II）的资金，省级批准配套资金的工作即将完成。ARIEL II包括两个新目标站的基础设施和用于电子诱导光裂变以及质子诱导裂变、溅射和碎裂反应产生的同位素的离子束输送系统。这些放射性同位素然后被运送到核实验，核天体物理学和材料科学研究，以及医疗应用。

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.
