Fifty Years of TRIUMF: Canada's Particle Accelerator Laboratory

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 and will incorporate the Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC) facility of TRIUMF, enabling more and new experiments in quantum 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 H– cyclotron will enable breakthrough experiments with the laboratory's suite of world-class experiments within the next five years.
