Description
The laser applications group at TRIUMF - Canada's particle accelerator centre is tasked to provide clean and intense beams of radioactive isotopes for user experiments. This is done through in-source laser resonance ionization (running a laser ion source or derivatives thereof). Beam delivery activities and highlights of the RIB delivery and development program of the past years will be descirbed and discussed.
In addition the group is tasked with providing nuclear spin polarized beams for experiments such as beta detected nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy - which is used for materials and bio sciences, as well as nuclear structure investigations. With increased demand for specific spin polarized species the combined polarizer- and collinear fast beam laser spectroscopy beamline is undergoing upgrades to facilitate new user programs in collinear fast beam laser spectroscopy, as well as the coupling of the GRIFFIN nuclear decay spectrometer to the polarizer.
Current activities, upgrades and future plans for polarized beams and collinear fast beam laser spectroscopy will be presented.
