Description

Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion sources have been a cornerstone of ion beam production at TRIUMF for many years. ECR ion sources support a broad range of research programs through the delivery of a diverse suite of stable isotope beams from the “Supernanogan” at the Off-Line Ion Sources (OLIS) facility, and through the Charge State Booster (CSB) which promotes radioactive ion beams (RIB) to highly charged states for post-acceleration. Together, the OLIS Supernanogan and the ISAC CSB deliver reliable, high-quality ion beams for a diverse experimental program at TRIUMF’s existing ISAC (Isotope Separator and ACcelerator) facility, and for the upcoming ARIEL (Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory) experimental program.

Presented here is an overview of the status and capabilities of ECR systems at TRIUMF. This work highlights operational capabilities, delivered ion species and intensities, recent source advancements, and looks forward to a roadmap outlining planned hardware upgrades, diagnostic improvements and other longer-term research and development initiatives to enhance source performance. These developments illustrate ongoing efforts to expand beam availability and higher intensities to meet the growing needs of the research community.
