The ISAC-II Phase II expansion includes the addition of 20 new quarter wave resonators in three cryomodules to double the energy gain of the ISAC-II superconducting linac. The rf cavities are produced in Canada. The talk will concentrate on the beam commissioning (scheduled for March 2010) and early operating experience.

TRIUMF (Canada) and VECC (India) are both planning to use the photo-fission route for producing neutron-rich radioactive ion beams in their respective RIB programmes. With this common goal the two institutes have entered into a collaboration to jointly design and develop a superconducting 1.3GHz 50MeV, 10 mA, CW electron linac which will be used as the fission driver. The first phase of the e-Linac collaboration aims at the development, production and full technical and beam test of a 10MeV injector cryo module (ICM) which forms the front-end of the final linac. The design and technical development of the ICM will be presented.
