There are three distinct experimental facilities made possible by ISAC II’s superconducting linear accelerator. Visit Featured Media for unique virtual access to facilities in this research hall. 

ISAC Charged Particle Reaction Spectroscopy Station (IRIS) gives physicists a unique view of the strong force and unusual transformations in nuclear structure when nuclei are pushed to their limits.

• IRIS leverages ISAC II’s ability to produce extreme, short-lived isotopes to induce nuclear reactions using a solid hydrogen target

• This experiment enables researchers to construct an unparalleled image of nuclear structure at the extreme, particularly for valence nucleons – those furthest from the nuclear core
