•TM1 developed a water leak and resulted in ionizer tube failure. TITAN lost three shifts.
•TM4 with Febiad source ran well from start to finish
•TM2 initially failed from coated insulators (bad connection on heater contacts), ran for 1 week and finally developed a water leak that caused the ionizer tube heater to fail.
Highlights of 2008 CampaignHighlights of 2008 CampaignFEBIAD ion source combined with high power SiC/Cgraphite target successfully operated at 70 µA protons for TUDA.
• Demonstrated high power target operation at full 50 kW proton power (100 µA at 500 MeV). Ex. 11Li.
• Development of composite carbide target – allows production of larger variety of intense beams. Ex. 26Al for DRAGON
• Development of a new FEBIAD equipped with a cold transfer line for Neon production - reduced isobar contamination.
• 1-2 µA on a Uranium Oxide target in August • Goals:
• Radiation safety - Testing for migration• Yield measurements of alkalis
• Results: No surprises• Report to CNSC in review• Next run in Fall 2009

TRILIS (TRIUMF Laser Ion Source) TRILIS operates successfully for 8π, DRAGON, TIGRESS,
basis for similar projects at GANIL, ORNL, JYFL. New laser on-line lab
• Transition nearly completed.• Laser Ionization of Be, Mg rare isotopes• Next elements to be tested on-line: Sn, Ca.
• Wide range tuneable Ti:Sa laser, Andrea’s thesis. New offline test stand completed
MISTIC (ECRIS) New generation of ECR source, radiation resistant, has been
developed. Offline tests on-going. Plasma ignition works very well.
• Charge State Booster • Allows acceleration of A>30 • Installed 2008 - Demonstrated acceleration of 80Rb14+ • Commissioning underway• First experiment Summer 09
• Supernanogan in OLIS • High charge state offline source for heavy stable beams and CSB pilot beams• Installed 2008 - Demonstrated acceleration of 40Ar7+
• First experiment Fall 09• On-line current monitors for ISAC-II
• License limit 5 MeV/u• New current monitors will allow 4.5 – 10 MeV/u Summer 09
• Extension of ISAC-II Linac• High beta section of SC-Linac (20 cavities in 3 CMs) will allow 6 – 20 MeV/u by
2010• Installation Fall 2009
• Installation of SEBT1 to TUDA

- Overhead and maintenance identified and scheduled in advance.
• Develop a suite of high level applications and add diagnostics to automate ISAC setup and tuning procedures – aim towards a more “deterministic” machine.
• Implement a global beam delivery strategy. • Use long shutdowns to schedule stable beam experiments.
Changes will result in increased RIB productivity, and allow better management and control of our 5-year plan deliverables.

Injector cryomodule baseline design – to be optimized in beam dynamics studies
• Two single-cell cavities• One multi-cell cavity• Operating at 1.3 GHz and 2K

The Relevance of the VECC The Relevance of the VECC Collaboration Collaboration
The VECC collaboration is completely aligned and directly contributes to our program: Allows an early start of the e-linac project. It is critical to the e-linac project: performing a system integration test
with beam, as early as possible (by 2011) will reduce risks associated with the e-linac 5YP deliverable.
It will result in valuable infrastructure and new expertise independently of 5YP funding scenarios.
Advances our core competency in SRF technology. Introduces TRIUMF to the electron world with potential applications to
light sources, and collaborations with electron laboratories. Can expand to other areas of mutual interest and benefit, incl. student
program. A workshop is being planned for 2009 on the long-term vision for our collaboration.
TRIUMF will become a SRF science and technology center.

Our goal is to establish a strong graduate student program in Accelerator Physics at TRIUMF in collaboration with Canadian universities.
Towards this goal, for the first time an Accelerator Physics course taught by TRIUMF scientists is offered at UBC and UVic this term: • “Accelerator Physics and Engineering: I. Electrons”
Course material at: http://trshare.triumf.ca/~baartman/PH555/
10 students registered and ~10 audit. Students from UVic, SFU, Cornell participate via video-conferencing.
Process has started to incorporate the course into UBC curriculum.
