Description
Target materials are routinely irradiated at TRIUMF to produce radioactive isotopes. These materials have customized properties that facilitate the delivery of short-lived species (with half-lives of <10 ms) to experimental stations.
With the development of the Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory (ARIEL), we are expanding our scientific capabilities by adding two additional stations, which will increase the demand for targets with high porosity and micrometric particle sizes by 200%. Our commitment to research and development fuels our efforts to introduce cutting-edge target materials, unlocking the potential for exotic isotopes that are beyond reach elsewhere, and positioning TRIUMF as a beacon of excellence in the field.
This contribution explores the logic behind the development of the new laboratories that will be dedicated to target materials production, embracing the challenges faced by space and resources. Our strategic plan observes existing target production methods while pursuing optimized techniques and innovative breakthroughs.
