Abstract
ISAC’s radioactive ion beams are currently produced in nuclear spallation reactions driven by an intense 480-MeV proton beam from the TRIUMF sectorfocused cyclotron. In this article we describe the design and operation of the cyclotron, and also the extensive program of upgrading the equipment and beams that has enhanced its performance and reliability over recent years.
