  The ISAC facility at TRIUMF produces stable and radioactive ion beams in a wide range of intensities and energies. The beam diagnostics was designed to support the beam delivery in every possible operating regime. Thus, the time-of-flight system is capable of measuring the beam velocity with accuracy of better than 0.1% at beam intensities from 1011 down to ~ 104 ions per second. It consists of three high resolution timing secondary electron emission monitors and has been in operation since 2006. Recently all three monitors were rebuilt with the aim to facilitate monitor alignment with respect to the beam. The system was also equipped with an UV laser that allows perform an accurate absolute calibration and monitor tuning with no beam present.

  TRIUMF has recently embarked on the construction of ARIEL, the Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory, with the goal to significantly expand the Rare Isotope Beam (RIB) program for Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics, Nuclear Medicine and Materials Science. ARIEL will use proton-induced spallation and electron-driven photo-fission of ISOL targets for the production of short-lived rare isotopes that are delivered to experiments at the existing ISAC facility. Combined with ISAC, ARIEL will support delivery of three simultaneous RIBs, up to two accelerated, new beam species and increased beam development capabilities. The ARIEL complex comprises a new SRF 50 MeV 10 mA CW electron linac photo-fission driver and beamline to the targets; one new proton beamline from the 500 MeV cyclotron to the targets; two new high power target stations; mass separators and ion transport to the ISAC-I and ISAC-II accelerator complexes; a new building to house the target stations, remote handling, chemistry labs, front-end and a tunnel for the proton and electron beamlines. This report will include overview of ARIEL, its technical challenges and solutions identified, and status of design activities.
