Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
We will be holding the second ARIEL Science Workshop on July 10th
and 11th, 2012 at TRIUMF, one day after the TRIUMF Users' Group
annual general meeting and a day before the Subatomic Physics
Experiments Evaluation Committee meeting. <a
href="http://www.triumf.ca/ariel">The Advanced Rare IsotopE
Laboratory (ARIEL)</a> will be TRIUMF's flagship facility,
expanding Canada's capabilities to produce and study isotopes for
science and medicine. Aside from the e-linac that is already funded,
the ARIEL project includes a second proton beam line for rare
isotope production. Together with the existing proton target for
ISAC, the parallel operation of 3 RIB production targets at TRIUMF
will enable a broad spectrum of world-class science.<br>
<br>
The scope of this second ARIEL Science Workshop is: to inform the
international scientific community of the capabilities of ARIEL and
ISAC; to highlight technical progress made on various aspects of the
project; to identify unique and world-leading scientific
opportunities for ARIEL and ISAC in all phases of the ARIEL project,
particularly for the materials science and nuclear physics program;
and to describe the construction and funding status as well as
possibly refining the planned implementation scenario. Special
attention will be paid to early implementation of a 9Be production
target with 8Li production via electron-driven photo disintegration
of 9Be.<br>
<br>
We invite the community to participate in this rather informal
workshop. In the coming weeks you may refer to <a

for details on participation, registration, and the agenda. A
special event honouring Gordon Ball's contributions to nuclear
science and TRIUMF will take place just after the completion of the
second ARIEL Science Workshop on July 11th. Information on this
special event will be sent separately. We look forward to seeing you
in Vancouver this summer.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
