  The TRIUMF Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory (ARIEL) is funded since 2010 June by federal and BC Provincial governments. In collaboration with the University of Victoria, TRIUMF is proceeding with construction of a new target building, connecting tunnel, rehabilitation of an existing vault to contain the electron linear accelerator, and a cryogenic compressor building. TRIUMF starts construction of a 300 keV thermionic gun, and 10 MeV Injector cryomodule (EINJ) in 2012; the designs being complete. The 25 MeV Accelerator Cryomodule will follow in 2013. TRIUMF is embarking on major equipment purchases and has signed contracts for 4K cryogenic plant and a 290kW CW klystron, and four 1.3 GHz Nb 9-cell cavities from a local Canadian supplier. Moreover, the low energy beam transport is under construction; and detailing of two intra-cryomodule beam transports has just begun. Procurements are anticipated in mid 2012 for (i) the entire facility quadrupole magnets, and (ii) the klystron's 600kW HV power supply.

  Imperfections in the TRIUMF cyclotron are a source of field errors which slightly violate the 6-fold symmetry of the ring. Among them, the third harmonic of the magnetic gradient errors drives the νr=3/2 resonance. This results in a modulation of the current density versus radius observed after the resonance crossing all the way to the extraction (480 MeV). The cyclotron has sets of harmonic correction coils at different radii, each set constituted of 6 pairs of coils placed in a 6-fold symmetrical manner. The 6-fold symmetry of this layout makes that a single set of harmonic coils cannot provide a full correction of third harmonic errors driving the νr=3/2 resonance. The last two sets of harmonic correction coils (number 12 and 13) are azimuthally displaced. In this study, we use this fact to achieve a full correction of the resonance. We also present experimental measurements that demonstrate the full correction.

  Traditionally, quadrupoles are shaped to have a constant vertical cross-section. In other words, the poles are cylindrical segments extended in the beam direction and circular or hyperbolic in cross section. At the ends, the poles are simply truncated or sometimes slightly smoothed with a chamfer. Even very short quadrupoles are often this shape. A new shape is derived analytically, and it is demonstrated that this shape yields dramatically smaller aberrations.
