Flashforward! Since the discovery last July, TRIUMF ATLAS and CMS researchers are flourishing with data, analyzing results, and continue to decipher the Higgs boson particle puzzle.
Today, Natural Resources Canada announced funding decisions for the next wave of development and deployment of TRIUMF technology for production of the key medical isotope Tc-99m using existing cyclotrons.
On Feb 21-22, 2013, TRIUMF hosted an international summit for particle physics. Directors of the world's leading laboratories assembled to discuss progress and plans as well as to look at opportunities for collaboration and partnership.
Last September, hundreds of photographers streamed into particle physics laboratories around the world to produce photographs of the laboratories, in all their beauty and complexity. It's time to vote for the winners!
A U.S.-Canadian team including TRIUMF scientists has used the 8pi detector to study how an exotic nuclei (Zr-94) can take on widely different shapes; the results have been published in Phys. Rev. Lett.
BC Deputy Minister for Innovation and Technology Cairine MacDonald visited TRIUMF on Tuesday morning and learned about the broad research and innovation program.
TRIUMF hosted the 2nd Junior Research School from January 2nd to 10th, 2013 for a group of 17 students and 4 teachers from the Meridian and Pioneer Junior Colleges in Singapore.
Pierre Savard (TRIUMF and Univ of Toronto) has been named Radio-Canada's "2012 Scientist of the Year" for his remarkable contribution, along with other Canadian scientists on the ATLAS team, to the discovery of the Higgs boson particle.
Dr. Lyn Evans, project leader for building the LHC, will be speaking at a free public lecture on February 20 in Vancouver. He will talk about some of the design features and technical challenges that make the LHC such an awe-inspiring scientific instrument.
Researchers have used TRIUMF's β-NMR facility to study phenomena that arise when different materials are sandwiched together in thin slices. The result was published in Phys. Rev. Letters.
