	The ARIEL electron linac is a 0.3 MW CW accelerator, extensible to 0.5 MW, being installed at TRIUMF for radioactive beam production. To date, 17 view screen monitors have been installed along the beamline and have proven to be essential tools in the commissioning of e-linac systems. These are populated by two types of beam targets: P46 scintillator screens which provide diagnostics for low duty factor operation, while at locations with beam energies at and above 10 MeV, OTR foils using either Pyrolytic Graphite or Niobium foils are included to provide coverage up to 100's of μA average beam current. The design of the view screen is described including the image acquisition system and beam target selection. The performance thus far of the OTR foils under low duty factor commissioning is presented including quantification of the OTR emission distribution, thermal studies, and transmission of the beam through the linac after intercepting a foil.

The ARIEL electron linac (e-linac) in its present configuration has a 10 mA electron gun and a single-cavity 10 MeV injector cryomodule followed by the accelerator cryomodule intended to house two 10-MeV-capable SRF cavities. There are momentum analysis stations at 10 MeV and 30 MeV. In October 2014, using a total of two cavities, the e-linac demonstrated 22.9 MeV acceleration. In 2017 an additional SRF cavity was installed in the accelerator cryomodule, thereby completing its design specification; and leading to 30 MeV acceleration capability. The 9-cell 1.3 GHz cavities are a variant of the TESLA type, modified for c.w. operation and recirculation. An unusual feature of the module is the power feed of two cavities by one klystron through a wave-guide type power divider, and closed loop control of the combined voltage from the cavities. Initial operation of the two-cavity control, including power and phase balancing, is reported.
