Abstract Scope |
ISAC-TRIUMF operates targets under particle irradiation in the high-power regime of 50 kW to produce radioactive isotope beams using the ISOL method. High-energy protons passing through the ISOL target are available for studies of radiation damage in materials with unique versatility in radiation type and intensity, nature of samples and irradiation conditions. In addition, the existing hot-cell capabilities for the routine maintenance of target components allow immediate in-situ material characterization of highly activated samples as well as preparation of microscopic samples with dose rates that allow hands on material investigation. The research aims to study materials for use in components for accelerator, fusion and fission applications that require specific thermoelectrical or structural properties in a wide range of operating temperatures and radiation fields. The ongoing capabilities and plans for material irradiations will be presented with the achievable DPA levels, proton and neutron fluxes and material characterization capabilities. |
