Scientific Opportunities at the ARIEL Electron Linac

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the scientific opportunities at the ARIEL electron accelerator identified in open discussion at the workshop, including applications in hadron structure, astrophysical processes, tests of quantum electrodynamics, dark matter and other BSM physics, and material science.

17 pages, 13 figures. A review of topics from the 2022 workshop "New Scientific Opportunities with the TRIUMF ARIEL e-linac"
