The ISotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC) facility at TRIUMF, Vancouver, Canada employs up to 100 microamps of 500 MeV protons impinging on various spallation/fragmentation targets to produce some of the highest-intensity ISOL radioactive beams in the world. Mass-separated radioactive beams are delivered to experimental facilities such as the 8pi spectrometer in ISAC I, or post-accelerated up to 10 MeV/u and delivered to ISAC II experiments such as the TRIUMF-ISAC Gamma-Ray Escape-Suppressed Spectrometer (TIGRESS). The Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy Group at ISAC perform investigations of Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics as well as fundamental Interaction studies utilizing both beta-decay with the 8pi and nuclear reactions using TIGRESS. I will present an overview of the facility and experimental capabilities as well as highlight some of the recent experimental results.
