IPAC'23 - Particle Accelerator Projects and Upgrades

IPAC’23 / PARTICLE ACCELERATOR PROJECTS AND UPGRADES 43 Project Region America Project Location Vancouver, Canada Project Type Project Update Project Description ARIEL comprises a major expansion of the ISAC radioactive ion beam (RIB) facility. ISAC, operational since 1997, comprises a target area where RIBs are produced via bombardment of up to 50kW of protons from the 500MeV cyclotron onto a thick target. The ions are transported to low energy experiments or accelerated in a heavy ion linac to energies ranging from 0.15MeV/u to 17MeV/u. In ARIEL a new building will host two new target areas. The first will be bombarded by electrons from a superconducting electron linac with energy and intensity of 30MeV and 3mA (100kW). The second target area will be bombarded from a new beamline from the 500MeV cyclotron with beam power up to 50kW. The electron linac is now operational with demonstrated beam power of 10kW cw. The electron target station will be ready for beam commissioning by the end of 2025. The proton target station will be ready for beam by the end of 2026. The ARIEL facility will allow three simultaneous RIBs for the ISAC experimental program and triple the experimental beam time hours.
