✦ Synopsis
An intense beam of 26g Al has been developed for accelerated beam experiments at TRIUMF's ISAC facility. Studies of the on-line production of Al radionuclides from thick silicon carbide targets have been performed as part of a program of beam development for astrophysical reaction studies at ISAC. While the release of short-lived Al nuclides from SiC was found to be slow, development of new target material forms and high-power target containers has allowed operation of SiC targets with proton currents of up to 70 lA on target. In addition, operation with the TRIUMF resonant ionization laser ion source (TRILIS) has produced 26g Al beam intensities of 5.1 • 10 10 s À1 .
