ARIEL: All Cables Connected for E-linac! |
16 September 2014 |
August 29th
marked the final push for cable pulling efforts for ARIEL’s e-linac. Over 1,400 cables
have been gathered, pulled, and connected from the e-hall roof and are ready to
power and control the accelerator! |

Postdoc Publishes Theory Breakthrough |
15 September 2014 |
Scientists from TRIUMF and the Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory published a paper in the prestigious Physical Review Letters outlining
a technique which for the first time enables researchers to analyze systems of
three nuclear clusters in relative motion. |

Experimental Result |
ARIEL: Switching on the (RF) Power |
12 September 2014 |
With the mass efforts building in the Electron Hall
this year, many components of the e-linac are in position and ready for operation.
Klystron One and Klystron Two, the high-power continuous wave klystrons,
are ready to power the cryomodules of the e-linac. |

Alfredo Poves: From Jules Verne to TRIUMF |
04 September 2014 |
Get to know Alfredo Poves during his sabbatical at TRIUMF. Alfredo joins
us until the end of October and is here to inspire collaboration and
continue research on nuclear structure. He has a keen interest in the
very exotic decay of nuclei emitting two electrons and no neutrinos. |
