Abstract

The Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory (ARIEL) will increase TRIUMF’s radioactive ion beam capabilities. As part of the ARIEL target material research and development campaign, a new method to produce targets of mixed uranium carbide with excess graphite has been proposed and tested. The resulting material is comparable in composition with the conventional target material and is produced ten times faster. The reduction in production time will liberate the resources and equipment for research and development leading to new target materials with improved radioisotope release properties for ARIEL.
