TRIUMF retooled its 520MeV cyclotron to power the Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC), a special facility designed to deliver the world’s most intense beams of accelerated radioactive isotopes and create a world-leading scientific program.
Since ISAC I achieved its first beam in November 1998, TRIUMF’s online isotope separation and delivery process has enabled scientists to study isotopes with very short lives
