Abstract
The recently completed ISAC facility at TRIUMF is the most intense source of low-energy radioactive ions in the world. Beams of short-lived radioactive ions have applications in many different areas of physics including condensed matter research. At ISAC we are developing the technique of beta-detected nuclear magnetic resonance (β-NMR) as a tool for investigating thin structures and dilute impurities. Large nuclear spin polarization can be generated using a fast collinear laser method so that a beam of highly spin polarized ions can be implanted at low energies (1–90 keV). In this paper we describe the facility and the initial experimental program with emphasis on how this technique can complement μSR.
