ARIEL at TRIUMF: Science and Technology

The Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory (ARIEL) is TRIUMF’s flagship project to create isotopes for science, medicine and business. ARIEL will triple TRIUMF’s rare isotope beam capability, enabling more and new experiments in materials science, nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, and fundamental symmetries, as well as the development of new isotopes for the life sciences. Beams from ARIEL’s new 35 MeV, 100 kW electron linear accelerator and from TRIUMF’s original 520 MeV cyclotron will enable breakthrough experiments with the laboratory’s suite of worldclass experiments at the Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC) facility. This invited talk will present an overview of TRIUMF, the ARIEL project, and the exciting science they enable.
