Target and ion source development at the TISOL facility at TRIUMF

Abstract This paper presents recent developments on the TISOL (test on-line isotope separator) facility at TRIUMF with details on the ongoing work with the surface ion source as well as the newly developed ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) ion source. First measurements using the ECR ion source on-line with a thick-target isotope separator are presented. Release properties of several targets for isotope production have been measured and will be reported.
