The Canadian Light Source has been running the 250 MeV electron linac from the 1960s for injecting into the booster synchrotron since 2002. As part of a renewal program, the CLS will be installing a new linac with an RF frequency synchronised to the booster ring. The project is expected to take 3 years to 2025 and lead to improved performance, especially for the recently achieved constant...
Superconducting Radio-frequency (SRF) technology using niobium accelerating cavities enables high performance and efficient acceleration for modern accelerator projects. These projects deliver accelerators that serve different fields of science, dominated by sub-atomic physics, photon science and applications. Global R&D in SRF science and technology focusses on: 1) Reducing rf losses, 2)...
Compact Accelerator-based Neutron Sources (CANS) offer the possibility of an intense source of pulsed neutrons with a capital cost significantly lower than spallation sources. In an effort to close the neutron gap in Canada a prototype, Canadian compact accelerator-based neutron source (PC-CANS) is proposed for installation at the University of Windsor. The PC-CANS is envisaged to serve two...
The Canadian Light Source (CLS) has recently created a new Electron Source Laboratory (ESL) . This lab is a cut off section of the linac hall/tunnel that was constructed late 1950's to host the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory experimental nuclear physics. The rebuilt has new shielding and a separate entrance that can accommodate an independent use of the area from the existing linac and...
The linear accelerator for electrons at TRIUMF is one of the main drivers for its Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory (ARIEL) project. The electron linac was designed and built for this purpose and is in its final commissioning stage with the capability of 10mA 30MeV CW superconducting machine. ARIEL will expand TRIUMF’s ability to produce rare isotope beams. But the potential for the linac is...
