The ISAC accelerators presently deliver various stable and radioactive CW heavy ion beams to experiments with energies ranging from 2keV/u up to about 4.5 MeV/u ( for A/q = 6 ). Beam intensities also vary enormously being as low as a few hundred ions per second for certain radioactive ion species and as high as 100 enA for stable and pilot beams. Monitoring of beams with currents of less than ~0.5 epA requires a dedicated diagnostics instrumentation which typically makes use of radiation hard single particle detectors. Several such devices have been built and are under development at TRIUMF. Electron multiplier based SEEM monitors, solid state and scintillator detectors with a count rate capability in excess of 10⁶ pps are employed. Device controls are integrated into the EPICS environment and provide standardized, simple and transparent operation. Details of the design, tests and beam measurements will be present.

In July 2009 TRIUMF, in collaboration with the University of Victoria and other partners, was awarded Canadian federal government funds for the construction of an electron linear accelerator (e-linac) in support of its expanding rare isotope beam (RIB) program. The project anticipates Provincial funds for the construction of buildings to be announced in June 2010. TRIUMF has embarked on the detailed design for the 10 MeV Injector cryomodule and the first of two 20 MeV Accelerator cryomodules (ACMs), all rated up to 10 mA. The project first stage, ICM and ACM1, providing 25 MeV 4 mA is planned to be completed in November 2013. The injector is being fast tracked in a collaboration with the VECC in Kolkata, India. This paper gives an overview of the facility layout, and accelerator design progress including beam dynamics and cryomodule concept.
