TRIUMF's high power ISOL facility ISAC features world leading experiments that address current topics in nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental symmetries, and material science. This talk will provide an overview of the current facility and its capabilities, recent developments in terms of beam delivery and experimental capabilities, as well as recent highlights of the scientific...

The study of exotic nuclei, especially near and beyond the drip lines, is becoming increasingly important with the advent of new facilities, which seek to explore the nuclear landscape well beyond the valley of stability. Theoretical efforts have increased in order to develop realistic models and determine (predict) properties, given that many of the nuclei of relevance may still be...

Characterizing the nature of single-particle states outside of double shell closures is essential to a fundamental understanding of nuclear structure. This is especially true for those doubly magic nuclei that lie far from stability and where the shell closures influence nucleosynthetic pathways. The region around Sn-100 is one of the most important due to the proximity of the N=Z=50 magic...

Two-nucleon transfer, such as (p,t) and (p,3He) reactions on stable nuclei, was studied extensively in the past, thereby successfully revealing crucial properties of stable nuclei. For unstable target systems this type of reaction also promises to be especially useful. However, a theoretical description of the reaction in terms of the distorted-wave Born approximation suffers from several...
