Status of radioactive beams activities at TRIUMF

Present plans at TRIUMF for a radioactive beams facility include an upgrade of the TISOL facility to enable the use of a 10μA proton beam and a linear accelerator coupled to the TISOL-2 isotope separator allowing the acceleration of ions with a charge-to-mass ratio of q/A ≥ 1/30 to energies of up to 1.5 MeV/u. The facility (ISAC-1) would use largely the present TRIUMF building structure with some minor extensions. The scientific program at the ISAC-1 facility is predominantly aimed at measuring astrophysically important cross sections of radioactive isotopes, as e.g. 7Be(p,γ)8B, 19Ne(p,γ)20Na and others. The status of the facility as well as some aspects of proposed experimental set-ups necessary for these kinds of measurements will be discussed
