Abstract

The TRIUMF 520 MeV H cyclotron produces intense beams of protons, pions and muons supporting basic research in nuclear, particle and solid-state physics, nuclear chemistry and biomedicine, and applied research in electromagnetic breeding of nuclear fuel, proton radiography, radioisotope production and cancer treatment.
