Abstract

TRIUMF, in collaboration with university partners, proposes to construct a megawatt-class electron linear accelerator [1](e-linac) as a driver for U() ⁸,f) with rates up to 10¹³-10¹⁴ fissions/sec, and for ⁹Be(γ,p)⁸ Li for materials science. The emphasis would be on neutron-rich species. The 50 MeV, 10 mA, c.w. linac is based on superconducting radiofrequency technology at 1.3 GHz. Though high power/current electron linacs are a mature technology proposed elsewhere for applications ranging from fourth generation light-sources to TeV-scale linear colliders, TRIUMF is in the vanguard for applying this technology to the copious production of isotopes for studies of (i) nuclear structure & astrophysics; and (ii) ß-NMR for materials science.
