.... and here, after Steve Hunt's exciting news, is another great milestone for EPICS. TRIUMF is not an EPICS facility, but the ISAC project is. Congratulations to Rolf Keitel and his team. What a great year end!!

Santa visited ISAC early this year.

Bob Laxdal and the High Energy Task Force measured a 1.5 MeV/u helium beam
at the Prague analyzing magnet located downstream of the final (fifth) DTL
tank. His message is quoted below.

"Last night a 4_He^1+ beam was accelerated through the ISAC DTL to the
maximum energy of 1.5MeV/u. This meets, on schedule, the first milestone
of the ISAC High Energy Accelerator Task Force. Congratulations to
everyone involved for achieving this challenging goal. We had many
doubters (including myself back in the first week of Nov. when Tank4 was
giving us headaches)."

This milestone will be followed, in the new year, by several months of
accelerator & HEBT commissioning. The next major milestone is to
accelerate a radioactive beam to a Nuclear Astrophysics experiment in April
2001, when cyclotron operation is scheduled to begin again following the
winter shutdown.
